Question: Why upgrade? Is there something wrong with the Wilwood design? What makes the Stoptechs superior?

Nothing wrong with Wilwoods. Lots of people on forum use the Wilwoods.

I think the Stoptech's are just a step up for 30 min and up car to car racing.

Probably Brembo, Alcon's and AP's would be the next step.

It is just a matter of balancing cost and effectiveness.

Sorry, should have posted that.

They are 328mm or 12.91 in.

They will fit with stock rotors.

Excellent price on an excellent brake set. C5 guys should be all over this.

Absolutely! I was a little disappointed I missed this by a few weeks.
