Did a little upgrading.

Old Fronts - Wilwood D52 Calipers, 11" stock style rotors


New Fronts - TRSD Signature Calipers (based on PBR calipers which are the same as C5/Cobra brakes) w/13' Rotors


Size comparison


Replaced rears with the 12" package to complete the deal (EBC Red pads front & rear)


There is no question, the front brakes feel much better than the old D52s. The Wilwoods look pretty but actually have less clamping force than the stock calipers. With the right pads and Hydroboost, they worked well enough but I needed a bit more bite for some road course track days I have planned. The rears are absolutely a better design, with a floating caliper. I was not a huge fan of the old ElDorado caliper setup that I had on the rear.

The 13" rotors fill the wheel a bit better. Probably could have gone 14" but didn't want to push my luck
