Sure. Buy the color you like best. It's for a street application, and there's no way you'll be stressing any of these brakes to their limits, so it really is a cosmetic choice. Pick what looks good and fits your pocketbook. JMHO.
Yes, I agree with that...I'm sure there's little to no difference in stopping power with the 2 systems.

However, I am concerned about things like noise, maintenance, cleaning, etc...and wondered what others have noticed with these.

Willwood, easily.

People get Rotoras to put on their show cars to look nice sitting at shows.

If not for being a part time show car(not a show queen by any means) and the fact we plan on track days with race tires and around 300WHP, we would stay with the stock brakes as they are quite good with the right tires(suspension helps as well)

With just the stock fronts and slighly upgraded rears(to go with the new fronts when we have time to install them) a 60 mile run through some of the funnest twistes I have ever come across, pretty dang quick pace, 30 miles up, then 30 miles down the other side, not one brake issue, stock was just fine.

With upgraded pads would of been even better.


Nobody kid themselves here, upgrading to a BBK for the street is cosmetic only.

Just so you know willwoods will have to be tore apart and cleaned every so often. They do not have dust caps on the pistons

Thanks, Not really a problem for us since we do alot of maintenance and continually look for ways to improve the car. Though daily driver capable we do not drive our project cars on the street all that much, just not enough fun and to many bad drivers around so just to and from events and meets, which we will be doing most weekends during the season up here in the Northwest as well as a few in CA, etc.

Plus, we will be changing pads for a number of events each year, another good time to clean things up

I imagine just getting the dust off around the pistons is all that is required, if so that should be an easy job.
