Only have about 70 miles on them right now, so I can't say much for performance. have to wait a week or two to break the rotors in before I can really stomp on it. Initial feel is quite a bit better. Feels promising.

You already had the wilwoods. You just added the larger discs, right? So the Wilwood's are a direct Max fit or is that why you had to make the bracket? I ask only becuase you show pics of the bracket you made, I figure if the calipers were not a direct bolt on you could've used the brackets from your other Max, right? Thanks.

I bought the wilwoods several months ago, but wrecked it before I got anything installed.
These calipers come in several widths, designed for a specific rotor width. these rotors are almost twice as thick as stock, so obviously these calipers will NOT fit with stock rotors.

Those bigger rotors are pretty heavy. Braking better is nice but hopefully it's needed because you're going faster and not for looks only. A golden rule is to lessen unsprung weight like wheels, rotors and calipers otherwise bring on the 19" chrome plated wheels!
