Unhappy Which Calipers for my S2000?

Hi guys,
I've just put new wheels on my S and desperately want to get some nice looking brake calipers. I like the wilwood calipers but i'm not sure which ones are the right ones.

here's the link for the UK store: http://www.rallydesign.co.uk/catalog/index.php?cPath=562_588

Plsss help!

thanks

Dont go for the Willwood, because there is leaking of oil after some use.

As per JohnsS2K who has used Brembo, Spoon, Willwood, Stoptechs etc he says that "the Willwoods were horrible, fitment was poor, stopping was inferior to OEM, and they leaked brake fluid around the seals which is fire hazard."
He ended up with the Stoptechs which is by far the best BBK he used on his S2000 and they also make a rear BBK for the S2000.

In case you need more info PM JohnsS2K .

By the way, I did also some research regarding BBK and due to my current J's Racing project I will fit their brakes (they are manufactured by Endless). If I wasnt going through my project I would have gone for Stoptechs.

Check the JDM forum...

There's a topic on BBK.. Most of them just put on other pads ,other brake lines and fluid.
