I haven't really heard anything negative from either company... so if money isn't an issue.. I would go with the company that has been around longer and has more products for you car... and as for upgrade do you men better rotors, lines and pads.. or a whole big brake upgrade??

I agree with the others, a BBK is a bit excessive. Pads, stainless steel lines, and better brake fluid will make the biggest difference... it's also no wonder why people believe BBK are better because all of these items get upgraded in the process. The stock rotors on the tC are pretty good, so all a rotor upgrade is good for is looks. BBK are great for road course use and canyon runs because they can take more abuse and heat than stock rotors, otherwise, your wasting a lot of money in the name of fashion.
That being said, I just picked up a set of used Wilwood 4 piston brakes for the tC that I'm in the middle of rebuilding... :D

Nice man! Yeah I went from oem - pad, rotor and line upgrade to wilwood fronts + powerslot rears.... So I have done it all with the tC I would not trade my setup for anything else I have run so far hehe.

These are my old wheels. A BBK would not clear it. See what I am talking about?

I heard that Wilwood's dont have sufficient dust covers, so you'll start hearing squeeking noises when you brake if you dont clean them well. Rotoras are second to stoptech, and a good choice if money is a factor
