Hi all. Right now I am in the midst of making a decision to upgrade my brakes, and I am wondering what you guys think.

I spoke with the guy from Baer, and he said that Wilwoods are great....except that they don't used dust&weather seals, which decreases longetivity. He said that Baer brakes do use the seals, will last a lot longer, and offer virtually the same performance. Baer is a little less expensive, too.

-The Wilwood kit offers 4-piston calipers and a 12.19 inch rotor
-The Baer kit offers 2-piston calipers and a 13.00 inch rotor

Does anyone have experience with either of these brakes on their car?

My car is a daily driver by the way.

Thanks.

 

I know a couple of people with Wilwood kits on EK's down in Florida and neither of them have had any problems (one is going on three years daily driven). I don't have any experience with the Baer, but I'm a little more apt to go with Wilwood, of the two choices, considering their record for making things stop.

Of course if it were my car I wouldn't get either of them. I'd rock some Spoon calipers with redrilled Prelude rotors up front and stock calipers with EP3 rotors in the back. Toss in a 4040 proportioning valve and the thing will for damn sure stop.
