Default Wilwood brake kit?

I'm talking about the brake upgrade kit with the 4-piston caliper and 11.1 inch rotor that they have for Integras and Civics.
Does anybody have this kit or know anybody that has this kit?
Does Wilwood have a good reputation for having quality stuff? I just noticed that they don't offer any kind of warranty with the kit...should I be suspicious?

any input would be good.

I've been considering the same thing. I saw SCC do a Wilwood brake install on a WRX, but that's all I've seen really.

Fastbrakes has two different kits that use a Wilwood caliper, one with 11" rotors and one with 11.75" rotors. Both kits fit under most 15" wheels.

I would assume they do they because they expect the product to be used under extreme conditions?:dunno:

Sucks though

Great kit for cheap but you most likely will have to use 17's. Some 16's might fit. So if you're getting it for looks then its a good deal since you'll probably have big wheels anyhow. But if you are auto x'ing then having the use bigger wheels will probably counteract the good the brakes are doing.

did you not read what was said before? from fastbrakes.com: "These kits are designed to fit under most 15" wheels"
