just picked it up.. Looks good i like the rotors very well done.. calipers are very nice with their logo ect..
The kit included 2 front rotors 2 calipers 4 pads 2 ss lines and a few other things..
What about my back rotors? should i keep it stock with the new pads? I thought kit would include all 4 rotors..

On their site it says Minimum Wheel Size 17"
Anyone know what is the size of the stock rotors? These are 12"

All the Wilwood Maxima kits out there utilize 4-piston calipers with the option of upgrading to 6pot. This one uses 2pot calipers..bleh. Also, some Wilwood kits use rotors larger than 12".

well i put them on the front kept my back stock and drove home on the highway without brakes.. how long does it usually take for the brakes to fit in and start working? It was making noise at first then slowly it started to get better now it is starting to brake.... Looks very nice the caliper is almost tuching the rim i have 17's i think the kit would look much better with 18's anyways should i get pics?

Brakes should "work" even during the "breaking in" process. Just don't do any unnecessarily hard stops for a few hundred miles unless you have too. Proper heating up and cooling down of new rotors are critical for rotor and pad life.

Depending on your new front piston surface area, the pedal will travel a bit deeper but never to the floor unless you have air in the system. Although the pedal will be softer, the braking should be stronger (more sensitive).
