So my question would be why go to Wilwood, unless you are planning to go to like the 6R kit. Because weight of the brakes are not the issue. Sure yes, you can get more pistons, but then you are only going to use their rotors, pads etc forever. Then you restrict your wheel diameters. Better rotors. better compounds are more than adequate. For example switching just the pads from semi metallic to carbon metallic such as Performance Friction. In their test rig using an F150, he vehicle stopped 100ft shorter, merely by changing the pads. Brake masters, proportional valves and calipers are matched for a very good reason. When you start cobbling together components and throwing in a adjustable valve because everybody else does it is not the best or safest method. Especially when most people just adjust the valve until the rear bakes lock up and then "just back off a bit".
