The real question here is: are you going to be doing some sort of competitive driving where big huge brakes are necessary? Good pads, good fluid and stainless lines are plenty to make a noticeable increase in braking capacity over stock. Nice tires also make a big differene.

I ask this question because if you are planning on getting any sort of kit beyond same-as-stock-size rotors, nice pads, stainless lines and good fluid, you will be bumped out of STS which is the class you would be in SCCA autocross. If you're just getting it to say you have big brakes, that's overkill.

 

I was thinking of another wilwood kit. This one to be specific. http://www.overboost.com/story.asp?id=457

 

SCC (April 2002) installed a Wilwood kit on Project EG Civic. The rotors were well over 2.5" larger in diameter than stock (12.19").

With 16" SSR Competition wheels, the Dynalite II calipers just cleared the wheels.

They loved the feel of the new brakes and stated that braking performance was just a pad choice away.
