Default Brake setup.

Well, as of now i have a wilwood big brake kit on my hatch that im trying to sell because the smallest wheel i can run is 16". I want to be able to run slicks. So ill need to purchase new brake rotors, calipers, pads, and brake lines.

I am gonna be running 15" wheels on the street and 13" wheels with slicks for the track. I want something a bit bigger than stock brakes. I was thinkin of buying GSR front brakes. Right now i have EP3 rear brake conversion, so i dont want my rear brakes bigger than the fronts, it would most likely throw off my proportioning valve. Anybody know what setup i should use to fulfill my needs??

Worst case, i run GSR brakes and get a different proportioning valve to compensate for the rears.

Doesn't Wilwood make a 15" wheel brake kit?

I dont want to do aftermarket brakes, it will cost too much. Im planning on using the money i get for the big brake kit to buy slicks.

Also, car has 570whp+ so i need as much tire as i can get, 15inch wheel will limit my sidewall, i dont think it will be worth it.
