Wilwood brake upgrade—desirable for street use?

[Dangerous Doug]

Lots of answers here, but here's my $0.02...

I tried the Camaro brakes to start with. They are a single large piston and you push a lot of fluid to fill them up. That means a lot of pedal travel. I simply did not like that. Also, the pads have a funky fit to them: you have to bang the edge of the pad with a punch or chisel to deform them enough so that they don't rock between the pins. (No joke: this is out of the GM Manual for that year Chevrolet!).

I went with the SSBC calipers with steel braided lines. I love them. They have two, small pistons and you have much less pedal travel (instilling confidence you can actually slow down enough for the upcoming curve, stop sign, small child...). The other thing is that the pads fit correctly on the SSBC caliper, so no annoying "click...click...click..." that I got from the GM calipers.

I don't know about the Wilwood upgrade, but the SSBC's with the standard rotor (I assume the Wilwood upgrade requires a larger rotor?) worked well for me. May be a good compromise? I think I paid about $450 for the calipers. Do not recall what I paid for the stainless brake lines.

Okay, that's all I've got to say on this matter.
