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.
