What rear pads on stock rotors/calipers are you recommending running with this setup?. I have been running XP12s front and Xp10s rear with stock calipers. Will the XP10s be enough or something grippier?

Took me a few - I had to look at piston sizing etc.
The WW calipers have just about the same piston area as the OEM calipers and the effective radius is the same or close. The fixed WW caliper has less clamping loss from sliding though so it will generate a small amount more of front brake torque.
WW Piston area - 2606 mm^2
GM - 2576 mm^2
Same rotor diameter and very similar pad depth.
So this should not greatly affect bias i.e. if you like the split setup before you should probably continue that way.

How does this kit differ from the LG Wilwood kit?
Looks like a slightly different (lighter) caliper and availability of piston choice. Anything else?

I am not sure exactly what they sell.
Similar version of the 'wide' SuperLite with good rotors.
LG can get the same piston options we can.
LG does not sell our heavy duty rotor.
The caliper listed is being replaced by a forged Superlite of which we are still waiting for details.
