For people who are interested in the WP pro kits, I have a friend who currently imports the WP kits for volvos and is looking to break into the saab market with a WP group buy of at least 5 people.

I've been wanting to do some sort of BBK job on my aero, most likely next summer, and while I was looking at 4-pot wilwoods the prospect of the nicer WP kit at wholesale prices is hard to let up.

How is the noise level with the wilwoods, also have you had any problems with leakage? The WP-selling guy had wilwoods on his old volvo and said they were great cheap track car brakes, but he had issues with noise and failing seals on his that were a PITA for use on a road car where you can't easily rebuild the caliper every few months like you can on a track car.

Well that depends entirely on how much. For me I really wanna be able to still use my 16inch snow tires.

What kinda noise? I don't hear anything with these brakes. Haven't seen anything about failing seals, I guess I'll buy another pair of calipers for $300 and keep them all set up if that ever happens. ( and still never be outta pocket the kind of money the WPS are)

Don't get me wrong the WPs are nice ( But nicer???) there is not enough material to get them CNC engraved either. And the 6/8 pot vs 4 don't impress me either.

These will fit my 16 inch wheels with a 5mm spacer. If you ahve a different style they will fit straight up.

Let me know how much the rears will be....
