Thanks for sharing, I was planning to upgrade to wilwood but after knowing the break-in period I'm going to stay with stock.

Nice comparo, I can confirm this mod is a fun one. I was not expecting to get a new feeling of crispness in the front that these lighter assemblies facilitate. I'm running the slightly smaller Powerlight of the FM kit. No problem handling a 20minute track session. BP-20's is a bit dusty and I'm not having trouble with initial braking.

what brake fluid are you using? my brakes just came in and looking over it say to use dot 3 performance never heard of it before read it that. Just wondering did you use the regular dot 3 or did you flush the system and change the fluid?

Hey man should I buy the club or grand touring? I might throw a turbo in there eventually. I know I’ll have to replace the transmission, just wanted to hear from you which version you recommend

Did you upgrade the brake lines? Did you need to upgrade master cylinder?
