Looks like it was a link to one of our older commercial ads that we have locked up.
Here is the information for future reference. Quote:

Did Wilwood explain why this happens, or were you able to figure out why? You would figure a larger front caliper with MORE stopping force being a larger, 6 piston caliper vs. the OEM 2 piston clamp-style, would give MORE front bias, not the oppposite?

I don't know the technical reasons what caused the issues, however I believe it has more to do with piston area. |

The only one's I've heard of that are not winter "safe" is the AP racing kits. That's due to the fact that there are no seals on the pistons and no coating on the calipers, both of which lead to corrosion issues. Keep them clean and you'll most likely have no problems.

FWIW after posting in this thread in 2013, i bought the 6 piston front and 4 piston rear wilwood kit. they fit on my 17x9 +45 RPF1 but i had to move the wheel weights inboard because there is about 1.5mm clearance between the barrel of the wheel and the caliper

Why'd you choose Wilwood over Essex? I'm looking now, too, and would love some insight.
