No hiccups what so ever w/ the install and braking performance was dead on...by the way it was a complete kit. I would go with them based on my past experience. just my .02$

I don't know if Wilwood are good or bad, but I do know that unless things have changed recently, they are meant for track use, rather than street use because they lack the dust seals on their pistons to keep road grime out. If you do use them on the street, they will need a rebuild every year or two to be safe.
