Feedback On Wilwood Front and Rear BBK

Hey folks, I recall reading a review on here (and one that wasn't too favorable either) on the Fastbrakes Wilwood Rear BBK but I can't seem to find it for the life of me even with multiple forum and google searches, so the question is - has anyone run the kit, and what do they think of it? I'm going to guess most people are running this in conjunction with the Fastbrakes front kit, so any issues with brake bias being too heavily skewed to the rear? Comments on quality and performance all welcome

I'm thinking of eventually going with the 6 pot front, 4 pot wilwood rear - yes, I know I will never need this much braking power in a street car but bear with me.

Just doing some research, not rushing to blow any money on it just yet

I'm thinking end of summer anyway, but my brakes on the TL do need an overhaul.

i recommend against wilwood brakes. Their caliper flex. I have wilwood on my front. I recommend stoptech since they actually made them for the TL .

Stoptech front, Wilwood rear? I mean I definitely think Stoptech is going to be the better option, I just want something semi-usable for the rear, and the feedback on Rotora given the significantly higher price point hasn't been all that great. I might contact CEIKA | Official website and online store - High quality and Performance car parts - Custom-built Coilovers and Big Brake kits and see if they could put something together down the line, but again, its not going to be cheap - The Wilwood rear option as of right now seems like the best budget (or as budget minded) option out there.

Just shave off the wilwood letters and put a stop tech decal over it if you want it to match. ;p

or check out the RL caliper + wilwood.

shave off the acura emblem and put a wilwood decal over it. is another option

Stoptech front is definitely a better option than the RL calipers + brackets - Wilwood and Stoptech is probably the route I'll go when the time comes.
