if your doing it for looks the SSBC force 10 stuff is nice, its a nice looking product, you can get the calipers polished/chromed whatever.

Personally if I was gonna get big brakes for looks I would go with Bear, 13" fronts and 12" rears.

personally i cant see spending thousands of dollars on brakes just for looks.

at least claim your getting them due to larger rims/tires and want to be SAFE.

Pics with 18" Motegi MR7 rims








I liked mine. I would buy them again if I could fit my 17's with them.

Wade jarvis I thought the smallest wheel size was 17 inch that the kit can fit on

Love my kit....only issue is being able to run 18" or bigger on the rims. I have the 13" front and 12" rear. Stops on a dime, and gives you change back!!!!!

I like the look of the Wilwood piston better. But maybe that's just me.

all pistons look relatively the same, plus you can't see them unless the caliper is off

My car may run 18s, but I can do your taxes in 10 seconds flat.

EXACTLY! LOL. But yeah the more I look I think i'm going to go with the wilwood kit. It looks better than the SSBC.

Wilwood kit is by far the best looking kit, one could argue which one performs better that or the Baer 13 inch kit major differences being ----------

Wilwood has 4 piston Calipers with 12 inch 2 piece rotors

Baer has 2 piston Calipers with 13 inch solid rotors


I had the wilwoods and absolutely LOVED them the look and performance were unbeatable
