We have our XLR8 BBK by STOPTECH in production now. It's $200 more than the kit you've got linked here but the quality and components are worth the extra funds. I'll post up more details soon.

However, if you're stuck on a Wilwood kit Fastbrakes makes a good setup:

Don't forget the sizes of these things, sometimes it will cost more to get your car to roll right with the RL brembos because the spacers or fender rolling. Find out the size and get the smaller one.

Civic, is that cost for a brand new pair with the brackets?

$600 is probably a used set of calipers, bracket, 350z rotors and pads.

Used RL calipers on car-part go for around $100 each. Another $70-100 in the rebuild kit and youre set. Rotors are around $200 for Powerslot/EBC. The bracket is between $100-150 depending on material cost. SS brake lines are optional. Pads are about $70.

New 05-up RL front calipers go for $400 each with discount. Not sure where they got $170 for.

I've heard from a couple of members who had Wilwoods and later switched to Rotora's that Wilwood's are loud among other things that is one reason I didn't want to go this route.

Ive run wilwoods in the past on other cars. The only thing that would make them loud would be the type of rotors being used.
