[QUOTE="kalel, post: 2003374, member: 68654"] Here is a quick review of my install and initial impressions of the AERO6 Front kit from Wilwood. Installation: Overall, not bad. Pretty straight forward. The install video on the link below is on a different year as the body mount for the OEM brake line is in a different location. I wasn't great at taking a bunch of pictures but the video on their site shows the install pretty much as it goes. Biggest snag I ran into was the driver's side brake line thread was partially crushed at the very bottom. Had to use a thread dye/tap kit m10-1.5 but because of the limited space had to use it by hand and got lucky to clean it up enough to get it to thread to the adapter provided by Wilwood. The retaining clips to the brake lines are a big pain to get back in because of the angle on my production year, if you have it like the one in the video it would be MUCH easier.

Bleeding wasn't hard with a friend. They stop great, but keep in mind my only reference is street use hard stops and daily driving. We will see how they do when I tow. I don't have any other references than that they do grab really well and will throw you. I presume a set of new pads and SS lines would do the same but having 6 pistons helps. The kit is overall much lighter than the OEM front brakes as well. I couldn't find the OEM or Wilwood weight specs but once I loaded everything into the Wilwood box, FML It was MUCH heavier than when loaded with the Wilwood components.
