Im leaning towards finding a set of 04 wheels/tires and a Amuse lip or OEM front lip.....I still like the stock look, 04 wheels will give it an updated look IMO...

dude, having gone from Stock brakes, to Wilwood, I think I know what I'm talking about.
Pedal feel differs from car to car, never mind from brake kit to brake kit. It's hard to quantify 'better' brake feel when the stock brakes are already soooooo good.
Is there increased fade resistance? Maybe, but as mentioned by others, that has a lot to do with other factors too, not least of which is HOW you use your brakes.
Actually, the biggest thing I noticed when I went to the Wilwoods, was steering feel was a little lighter...really.
I'm the most honest about the 'value' of my mods and the money I spend on them. I don't go looking for gains or improvements just to justify my cash.
The above is my opinion, anyhow.

James, stop your bitchin and get a set of big ass wheels- the guy has a billion dollar mugen intake but is afraid to get wheels - THATS RETARDED. You upgraded your plug wires yet James?
I do agree that a front lip is a non brainer though - big diff to me and my friends at KK.

It's not a question of money for the wheels, it's about performance and convenience. I don't want to downgrade the handling, or cause myself headaches everytime I want to track the car.
Don't you know I'm the laziest owner out there???

Actually, my email was addressed to Jason, who I think was arguing that the Wilwoods were better.
I'm arguing that the difference for our purposes, is negligible.
I agree with you 100% Marco.
