wilwoods are on
i put the wilwood BB kit on the car. 6 piston front-4 piston rear on 18in HRE 547's. so if ya got these wheels your good to go. install wasnt too bad. the hardest part was getting the calipor bracket off. i didnt have much room to get leverge on the torque wrench since the cars on jack stands. finished up the install and went for a ride. i finally turned down the radio and i hear- WAP_WAP_WAP. o *****. so i drive home and jack her back up. one of my SS brake lines was hitting the tire weight. moved that and all is fine 
ya my wheels need a polish

the advantage of the WWs are really when you hit the track. I couldn't tell any difference on the street. On the track they shine like diamonds. Repeatable, almost completely eliminate taper etc. etc.

If I had purchased them, I would have taken weights, but since they came on the car I was just curious. Previous owner did some other mods that save weight (CF hood, headers, non-runflats). I'm just interested in figuring out what it must weigh as well as the difference in unsprung weight.
