The Brakes question

We have been happy with SSBCs and EBCs on some of our vehicles.

Be careful screwing around with brake bias. 80% of your stopping occurs with the front wheels, too much rear bias and you're at risk of swapping ends (spinning) especially on wet roads. Dumb question but why upgrade? Understand that your unsprung weight/rotational mass will increase with the larger wheels/tires but would a better pad be adequate? Are you guys seeing brake fade with the larger wheels/stock brakes?

with my upgrades i plan to go a little faster and therefore will need more braking power. I wanted the Wildwoods because they have 6 piston calipers

Yo i'm running the big Wilwoods, 16s in the front and 14.25s in the back. Stops like a champ!!!!!!!! If you go with the 16in you cant go smaller then a 20in rim. This brake system is badass looks great and stops great!
