Bottom of the barrel kit. The calipers themselves are only $~176 each. The rotors are crap, the pads are crap and the lines arent ADR. (throw em in the bin and use your Maltech ones, will fit). They are lug mount too, not such an issue for a rear kit, but on the front you'll only have one plane of adjustment with that type.
Otherwise Just get the OEM 4 pot Jza80 kit. Looks good, and they only have to slow down a V8'

Cant say, I've only used Wilwood SL6 radials on 330mm rotors.
While they are advertised as a 13" kit, they are actually JZA 80 OEM size rotors. (324mm)
So best guess is ......... much the same, only you dont have dust seals in the wilwoods. |

You better re read that ad, its for a rear kit. It also starts off the spiel with "Wilwood has supplied brake packages to race teams for almost 50 years."
But that isnt a Wilwood kit. |

I got my fronts second hand (rebuilt em ~$120), new dogbones from engineering technology.
Bought new rear Wilwoods from Arizona Performance. Useless f*cking alumimium handbrake hat. Glad it used 324
mm rotors, replaced em with DBA 4000's. ( which are overkill, plain DBA would be more than enough...) |

I reckon eBay would have a few dealers that can supply calipers only, calipers and dogbones, then you can get racebrakessydney or your local engineer to make the dogbones. |
