Mine did fine on ps2's with 490 rwhp. I would eat pads in a day. THe cooling ducts helped a lot. The switch to hoosiers made a huge difference. The brakes overheat quickly.

Fucking hard choices! Wilwoods are available through Summit for $4,100. I spoke with DRM and they say the Willwoods are great and a bunch of guys run them, but they have some Alcon that are on a whole new level.

Please remember that I have done five deployments since 2005. I make decent money and I am never home to spend it. If is wasn't for the fact that I paying for a wedding the corvette would be an exercise in excess.

Well, I could not justify the cost difference. There are plenty of guys running the Wilwoods. I took the money I saved and ordered the goodaero wing and a apr wing splinter to go with my front air dam. I appreciate the feedback and the assistance with finding alternatives. This was a big purchase.
