Thanks Chet. What did these cost to do all four wheels? What items were new/used.
Has anyone put Wilwoods on 16"?

I am wanting to do a big brake upgrade soon as I will be needing to replace my brakes as I approach 160,000 on the clock.

I'm not jealous. I have an S60R. LOL

Looks great though. Surprised how rusted the rotors where. Did they sit in water or something?

Andrew: rotors will look like that after as little as a day in the right amount of humidity.

The rust is already gone
they were sitting in a CA garage for about 6 months
He paid around $1000 for them
we traded the brakes and IPD braided lines for a seam weld job on his 242 that we built
