Outlaw calipers are an alternative, rebranded extensively. http://www.outlawdiscbrakes.com/m16.html
I have them, but I don't think they are as good as the wilwoods, and the rally design prices on wilwoods are excellent.

Im sure a set of Raceleda or Hispec would work but I would be suprised if another brand will be that much lighter and as good as Wilwood. Everybody
uses them for a reason!
I think there is a bulk buy on here for Wilwoods from Rally design on here at the mo. Have a search.

Track days ARE the best thing since sliced bread, until I get a supercharger that is!

Different situation: a heavy front wheel drive ----- almost all of the weight is on the front wheels and Golf Mk4 ain't exactly light.
The M16 is already probably well on the large side for the job it has to do.
