Having done a lot of racing, and been though many different brake components and have tested 2, 4 and 6 piston calipers, I would go with Baer all day long and twice on Sundays. The willwoods are ok brakes, but for serious competition you need to stay away from them. They also tend to have problems in wet weather as their seals don't seem to keep out moisture very well. The willwoods for our cars seemed light, but also didn't give me the kind of braking power that I wanted diving into the corners at the last second. Nothing really compares to Alcon and Brembos, but Baer is not far below them but well above willwoods in quality, and usability but baer has problems with backlogs and can't seem to get the product to you in a timely fashion. Willwoods also have a problem with being bled. They don't bleed very well unless you bench bleed them, and the nipples on the willwoods are tiny and can break off. If it's just for street use either one is fine, but for all out racing, forget about it. Just my 2 1/2 cents :-)
