Has anyone changed out their ERA with SSBC calipers to Wilwood Forged Dynalite calipers or any other system? I'd really like to improve my #2119's braking without leaving my 15" wheels. I don't track the car anymore but do still do some "spirited" driving. I'd appreciate any advice I can get.

I would say there is improvement in brake fade, but not pedal effort.
I did swap to BP-20 compound front pads. They are more aggressive than the standard BP-10. I also, played with my brake pedal adjustment to maximize leverage.
Thanks John. It's sounding like the choice of pads made the most difference. I went with Hawk street-track pads that helped noticeably a few years ago.
My car came with 9" discs from a pinto. Not real good at stopping. Found the brake pedal pivot was set up for power brakes. Changed the pivot and got better leverage from the pedal but still couldn't lock up. Switched to the Wilwood Dynalite 11" rotor with 4 piston. Much better braking plus they are 35 pounds lighter on each wheel. Ive been very happy with the upgrade. 15" wheels could maybe have gone with 12" rotors.
