Rep Power: 363 I decided yellow because it stands out with th color of my car. I'm still working on bleeding them out correctly and hopefully having my wheels back on and rolling today. Its been a pain and I did not take pics as I was doing it but may have to pull them again for adjustments then I'll see about a DIY for aftermarket kits.

Rep Power: 399 Wilwoods are 4 piston, not 2, Brembos are also 4 pot. Unless you're nuking brake pads on a regular basis, you probably could have increased your stopping power with better pads and fluid for a whole lot less.

actually I've got the factory pads with 46k miles on them and they looks as good as the new ones. Its not for the fact of increasing stopping power initially its for the eye candy they offer plus the upgrade.
