Brembo Brakes
My comment about wilwoods not looking like the real thing was not a slam I was just stateing a fact. The wilwoods do look good and I even contemplated using the GN6 caliper for my brake conversion but I felt that the wilwood would not fill my needs for brakes. So I am running brembos. I have driven cars setup with the wilwoods (mustang), my dad has a ZR1 and I have driven Z06's and LS1 SS. The brakes on all of these cars were far superior to the stock 3rd gen brakes (non 1le). I have thought of selling my brakes as a kit but it would cost $2000+ I would be in direct competion with Steve and Alloy.

The rear brakes are overkill for most front setups that I have seen. I wouldn't run them unless you have the same fronts as me or are running the Porsche gt2 (6 piston) or the Baer extreme+. As for selling the fronts or rears as kits I would have to sit down with my dad and talk it over. I am an engineer and he owns a machine shop so I design the parts and he turns them into reality. Next you are going to want to buy my rack & pinion steering system. I would also have to look into the liability in selling the parts. As far as rear brakes go the stock pbr set up is quite good when proportioned correctly. I have met quite a few 4th gen owners that are running the similar front brakes as me and are still running the factory rears with better pads and a proportioning valve.
