Default New Wilwood Front and Rear Brake Kits

Hey guys, just wanted to post some pics of some new developments. PartsHelper made a trip out to Wilwood and managed to come back with a front and rear brake kit. 6 piston front and single piston rear.



Front Caliper




Rear Caliper allows for fully functional e-brake.

My question is will the car stop better than stock? Most "upgrades" I have seen post the same or worse stopping distances than stock brakes.

I think stopping distance is dependent on the size of the contact patches in the front of the car...if the stock brakes can lock up the front tires just as fast as these can, then these won't result in shorter stopping distances (just better feel and less fade). If you ran these brakes w/wider front tires you would probably see shorter distances compared to stock on the same setup.
