Default itr brakes vs wilwood

How do the itr brakes compare to the wilwood kit that fits under 15" wheels?

Is there a reason you are in need to upgrade your calipers? Some good pads and fluid go a long way on stock ITR calipers.

I'm building a new track car and debating which would be better to go with. Also waging if the wilwoods are worth the extra cash. The setup will be a 300 hp turbo delsol.

ITR calipers are cast, single piston, use OEM or Type R spec aftermarket pads and 23 mm OEM rotors (one piece) ---> cheap to maintain

Wilwood Dynalites are forged, four piston, use Wilwood HP pads, and one or two piece rotors --> expensive to maintain

The braking on a Type R is TIRE LIMITED usually - so upgrading your brakes mainly saves you unsprung weight, improves fade resistance and improves modulation.

do the wilwoods offer much "more" braking power? I figure I would go with the itr brakes because of maint. costs.

i dont think you can really get much more breaking power than itr brakes, but you can get better modulation, im planning on nsx calipers

So why didn't you answer his question then?

P.S. I never said anything about lines.
