No, for the simple fact that I'll never find one even close to as clean as ours, and without the typical engine problems that a lot of them had.

Oh whew....good, because I haven't settled with insurance yet and I've heard horror stories of the cars being sold without the owner being given the buy back option!

You will not regret going with the Wilwoods. Super light setup with amazing clamping force. Great rotors with tones of reasonably priced pads. I run three different sets that take two min to swap out but the race only compounds are great and quiet for the street. I wonder why more VAGs don`t run them?

I have a set of safety wire twisting pliers you can borrow when you get to the install.

Don't the dust seals need replaced every year or two? Or is that AP?

Most versions of Wilwoods do not have dust boots. The tolerances are very tight and designed to run at very high temperatures. I guess the thinking is that dust boots turn to a gooey mess or turn hard and brittle when exposed to the temperatures of driving events/track events. I have not had an issue with the lack of dust boot letting anything in. Even being submerged in salt lake water and pure salt down south and there is no issue.

What version of the wilwoods are you going with? Do the rotor assembly early as the wiring is fiddly work and takes a while.

I have the 140-8276D kit, forged billet dynapro 4 piston and two piece rotors.
