To go or not to go wilwood fronts?
I've re-made the pedal box, master cylinders, bias bar and lines after removing the servo and master cylinder. Its got tired Single pot ford
calipers and vented disks.
Now do I splash out on the wilwood powerlite kit?
Value vs performance? Apart from gains of lower unsprung weight and 4 pots. £300well spent?

What car and how much does it weigh?
My old s3 made it to north american nationals (2nd) years ago with the brakes that Lotus fitted.
You REALLY need More brakes??
Trick to going faster is to Not use the brakes.

Powerlites are so much lighter than standard ford. Less weight plus better braking (4 pot) can only be a good thing.
Send me a u2u if you want some as I can still get discount from rally design

Road car or race car? IIRC they don't have dust seals so need more maintainance than OEM style.

I love them on mine, a massive improvement over the ford single pots I had on the Fury (which was lighter).
