Wilwood BBK up front, OEM brakes rear... opinions?
Was thinking of doing Wilwood 6piston BBK up front 13" drilled & slotted rotors
and keep rear stock but change rotors to drilled and slotted to match
would this look stupid?
Not much being said about Wilwood on the forums, I thought they were a good brand... anyone have these installed? fronts cost about $1500-1700 shipped
Kit includes parts for both front wheels:
anyone know what the OEM brakes weight? i have a non sport
and keep rear stock but change rotors to drilled and slotted to match

I don't think matching the rear non-sports with 6 piston up front would make for a good balance (unless you're only interested in this for looks)

Why not just upgrade the Akebono pads to some Hawk or Project Mu performance pads... Stainless Steel Brake lines and better brake fluid and drilled/slotted rotors?
Why are you looking for a 6 pot front? will you be tracking or just want it too look better? Aren't you on 18" wheels? Will 6 pot front even clear?

The OP mentioned he had a non-sport so I'm guessing even the OEM sports would be an upgrade. In that case I'd look around for a used set on board, with some rotors and pads and you're good to go
