I'm having the same dilema... but for me it's between AP and Wilwood. AP is arguably the better of the two, but it's also more money, and doesn't have a rear solution yet for the Sprint series. If AP had a rear kit that matched the balance of the stock FRS, I think that would be my first choice. The new kit AP just released isn't as track focused for me, a great kit for the street and for show, but it weighs more, and you'd need 18" wheels.

The Wilwood kit seems perfect for me. Daily driver, some track (7-8 times a year), easy pad change on track day, lots of pad choice, and a great reputation with my racing friends. When speaking with people using Wilwoods, they are always very enthusiastic with their recommendation. I haven't heard ANY complaints.
Though the prices for the Wilwoods haven't been released, historicaly they have been very well priced.

ATM, it's Wilwood for me, but I'll be following this thread.

(I should note however, that my expertise on this subject is from about 100 hours of online research, and speaking with people using said products. Not 100 personal laps of research on the track, so take it with a grain of salt.)

That's my 2 cents
