FSVT brake upgrade from Bill Jenkins. Wildwood caliper kit from BAT. Mintex 1144s with good brake fluid on stock SVT set up. I've got 17s, so clearance is not an issue. T-red E0 SVT ATS 17x7.5 Comp Lites, 215/45/17 Falken 512s, Ausi Bar, Boxed subframe, Poli all around, Warmonger's Opt Y, Opt TB, AFE, DMD, NGK's, Bendix Ti, Alpine, Polk, Mobil-1 0W-40, Redline MTL.

If not, I'd go with the FSVT brakes, just for parts availability. Wilwood kits are MIGHTY cool lookin' though... Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

Wilwood pads are available from almost any where that supplies aftermarket brake pads, or Wilwood products. We can get them too, including replacement pads from Hawk too (for Wilwood calipers).

The two most common pads in the industry are fit for these calipers; first is this one for many of the BAT and other DL caliper kits: http://www.wilwood.com/BrakePads/004-ILLUS/DWGs/7212.gif Available in a host of pad compounds to pick from and from many vendors. Then there is the pad which I use, it to has the same properties of above with regard to supply: http://www.wilwood.com/BrakePads/004-ILLUS/DWGs/7420.gif Point being that supply is not a problem once you learn your way around.
