Hi,
i'm after BBK and it looks like Tarox and Wilwood can fit under my wheels.

Tarox is based on a 6 pistons caliper:

Willwood is based on "Forged Narrow Superlite" 6 pistons:

Both have very little feedbacks online.
which one is better for track days abuse?

currently i have a kit with stock diameter rotor but 2 piece with increased thickness and directional wanes. Caliper is Wilwood forged Dinalite.
no question - it's better than OEM brakes.
but still not enough for the abuse i put on them....

You should really look at ducting first. I know it's not glam, but it may save you a grand or so.

Dixcel and ducting. I have no ducting, but Dixcel have been faultless all season.

Only reason I will go bbk is to save weight.

ducting is on the list.
i want more capable kit anyway.
so the question is which one is more durable.

Not sure there's enough experience with the Tarox, but loads of US guys use Wilwood and I've not heard anything -ve. I couldn't get matching Dixcel discs for them IIRC so didn't go for them.

I think a couple of the Italian guys use Tarox calipers.

One guy in my race series has them on his DC2

PS not sure I'd go 20mm on the Tarox.

A lot of the Italians have the Tarox kit as they helped develop it with Tarox.

yes - this sounds way too skinny....
otherwise i would go for them as with Wilwood i have an impression that they have too much cases of poor quality/performance.
zero waranty from Willwood is also not confidence enspiring....

There were a lot of guys in the US went for the 6 pot Wilwoods a long time back as there were a few group buys on them at a very good price. I am not aware of any reported problems with the kits and spare parts are relatively easy to come by (not that I have needed any for years).

I have the 4 pot Wilwoods and they are not any better than OEM for stopping you but there was a 10kg weight saving and they cool down a lot quicker than OEM, which means more time on the track.

More capable in what way?

You should always have the smallest brakes you can get away with!
