Well yeah we all would :) don't you have the older calipers?
The wilwoods are pretty cheap, especially to maintain (pads/rebuild kits are
reasonable) and parts are easy to find. Josh forgot his "A" pads at the
convention, and found a local cirlce track race shop that had some sitting
on the shelf. Probably couldn't do that with a lot of other calipers.
I'm pretty happy with mine, I get even pad wear, I like the pedal feel, and
have only had "shudder" associated with un-true rotors. With new or true'd
rotors, pedal is great. 1" rotors would be nice to reduce some heat, and
also some cooling ducts in the near future.
Only thing I don't like is the calipers change all kinds of colors through
their life, due to heat. Something wierd with the anodized finish.
