Anyone use Wilwood Front Drag Race brakes?

Just looking around at different brake setups and these look cool. Love the black rotors.

Wilwood Drag Race Front Hub Kit

At $600 it is a pretty good price. Just wondering if they will hold up in street driving rather then just drag racing.

they are good brakes, but should really only be used on a drag car. Mainly because the rotor is a thin non-vented unit, it would warp and heat-soak with repeated moderate-heavy stopping. You could probably option that kit with a thicker vented rotor and be ok.

Wilwood's street kit without slotted/drilled rotors is $547. As 302 coupe said, these are thin drag rotors, I think I'd go with a street kit. I'm partial to the RC132 kit, at $350, you can't even hardly beat the price with a Granada swap (unless the granada donor car just had a brake job then your just lucky)

Not to hijack, but I have the Granada swap, what is RC132. I have been wondering what my options are for further upgrade.

Do a search, I got into a discussion about this kit about 3 days ago.
