I was wondering which breaking system was better, all names aside. I'm at a toss-up with wilwood and Rotora. I like the wilwood because they have a single cotter pin that can be taken out to slide your break pads out with ease no removal of the caliper needed, where as the rotoras need the caliper removed. which do you think is better, also the wilwoods go for 900 buck, significantly less than the 1400 rotoras. I know they are both reputable brands. but my question is which is better and why? thanks guys.

I would NOT want a brake pad held in place ony by a cotter pin. There will be extreme heat and pressure under hard braking. The pin won't last.Try these, you may have to get 5 lugs but still way cheaper even if you got bolt-on after market 5 lugs.http://www.frsport.com/Nissan_....html

You may want to replace the pads in the kit with better pads that have cut in the middle.

in wilwod's defense, seems no one have any problem with them, hm?

I think it is too pricy, but someone on this forum has it on s13 think it is worth every dollar... I still won't do it though.

Just get some z32 and call it a day
