Alliance BBk has been sold guys. The alliance DOES look better. But eh, time for a change for me. Plus no one really has wilwoods either so I guess I'd go that route.

LOL at all of the down grade comments. Alliance are cast brakes made in Taiwan and Wilwood are Forged brakes made in the USA a huge upgrade. The Wilwoods will also be about 1/2 as thick as the Taiwan BBK.

This is a huge upgrade, if you get a BBK for looks only stick with the made in Taiwan brakes(about three diffent company's all rebrand the same BBK) they are cheap anyway.

I can't wait for pictures with the new brakes

You hammered it right on the nail my friend for I know you know exactly what your talking about Thus the reason why I chose Wilwoods for my brake kit. Alliance is similar to Rotora & k-sports (heck maybe the same but rebranded), it looks really nice (which I had 0 complaints), but the quality of the Wilwood is simply superb. Just like how I seen 8pot brakes stop better than 6pots because of the brand and quality of the kit.

Ps. Sylvan lake I like your project mu bbks I drove a 6/4 and it took a crap on my alliance.

A stoptechs 6/4 stopped better than my 8/6. I had stoptechs 4/2 on my g35 w race pads and it's compatible to my alliance now, more expensive though lol. Regardless the bad boy look of the alliance got me mad props and exposure and the brake kit did save my butt few times lol.

Info stated above about WilWood is true... Alliance may look better, but WilWood stops better.

Any mounted pics with wheels? I hear you sold the AME's... what you got now?

Nope they came separate. You have to assemble the hat and rotor together. You also have to use metal wires n knot it around every bolt. I have no clue I never get my hands dirty so I just peeked over at what they're doing lol no issues though and I love it.
