You didn't state your goals or driving situations.

We find the same results that Tobin outlined & a big benefit for running road courses or any driving situation where you're braking hard & often ... over long periods of time.

No need for them in AutoX, because you're done in 30-60 seconds.

Hey Ron, thanks for the question. I'd like to have a braking system that holds up the rigors of high speed road course track events. I plan on primarily running ASCS, GG Auto-x, and the occasional track day at some of the great tracks in Nor-Cal.

I'm going to get a Wilwood kit for the front and swap my Z06 6 Pistons to the rear, eliminating my current drum setup. I have manual brakes with the Wilwood 6.25:1 pedal and the following master cylinders: 3/4" front, 7/8" rear

Seems like these have a great benefit for sustained hi-temp situations. Not sure if the extra ~$640 is worth it while I'm still sorting our my entire system.
