[QUOTE="railroad, post: 16807398, member: 13485"] I am finishing up a Factory 5 Cobra Kit car. It came with Wilwood 6 piston front and 4 piston rear calipers and separate master cylinders. After bedding the brakes, I was not impressed with the street perfomance of the brakes. I attributed this to the race pads included. Wilwood, only offers race pads for the 6 piston calipers. I did find and change to a set of Hawk pads which improved the stopping to a more comfortable level. My point is, check the pads available for the brand you choose. The original Wilwood pads would lock up all 4 wheels, but required more leg pressure or heat put in the pads, than I felt comfortable in normal driving. One other note, the brakes are not power assist, manual all the way. Quality of the Wilwood calipers was good. I have not exposure to the other brands. good luck, [/QUOTE]
