The factory brakes work excellent. The only reason I went with the Wilwood calipers was to save weight. Even with bigger rotors I saved 7lbs per side. The only drawback with the Wilwoods is the fact that you can only get mettalic pads so you need to warm them up before i ull up for a pass. I used organic pads with the factory calipers so they would grip cold.

I think a pair of Wilwoods weigh less than a single OEM one. You ever thought of taking the pads to a shop that relines brakes and seeing if they can put organic material on the Wilwood pads?

Valve came in with 3/8-24 IF ports on them, the old valve had 1/8-27 with 3/8-24 IF adapters. So have to find 3/8-24 IF F to 3/8-24 M adapters locally or run new line and remount.
