Local parts store. That way when the piston seals start leaking you can warranty it there instead of the hassle of doing it online and shipping the leaking caliper back.
You "feel" the difference because you want to "feel" the difference. Since you just spent money on the upgrade you "have" to feel the difference
I'm looking to eliminate the double pump process I have to follow right now to get the pedal hard

Who do I search for on facebook to get the aluminum brackets? Or does this person have a website? I tried searching the username from here but that doesn't work.

They (and Wilwood) make kits that fit the 03+ panther front suspension for people who are doing crown vic subframe swaps under F100s. Nobody has tried it on a Marauder yet. Wish they sold a rear setup

+1 for the budget big brake kit. Been using it at trackdays for almost 2 years now, incredible improvements in braking force and ultimate heat capacity. c5 calipers are good, c6 calipers are marginally stiffer, but also thicker, and may not fit under the stock wheels like the c5 calipers do. Also, having access to every performance pad made for Corvette is nice.
I traded ride/drives with a friend who has the Wilwood kit on his manual swapped vic, he was impressed with my brakes, I was....not super impressed with his. Might be something about master cylinder sizing, idk.
There have been a number of changes over the past 15yrs to the "Wilwood" kits. Actually the TCE kits.
Today there are kits from Wilwood directly that are descendents of the TCE builds. This came about, as note above, due to the CV clip swap that became popular about ten years ago. Seems a number of the "big shops" and TV shows were rather discontent that to get a kit for their build they had to get it through me. Wilwood took note of that and we discussed it. In the end they took 13" and 14" kits using the FNSL6 and optional Aero6 kits from my listings but left me the "oe wheel fit" option as well as the larger 15" version. "That's not right!" you may scream and yeah I felt that way some of course. But. The good news is that the cost of those kits has been reduced quite a lot. (and availbale from me of course) so that's a plus for consumers. The other good news is that TCE remains the only source for the 14" FNSL6 kit that fits your stock wheels. (with or possibly w/o that super slim spacer)
Today TCE has extended the listings from 14" kits for the stock wheel to 14" Aero6 kits (now Wilwood) and 15" TCE kits as well as a couple of 16" kits we've produced as well. AND, the latest and last version of the rear kit is now a 14" FNSL4 version again; retaining the p-brake. *Note that YES the Wilwood factory 14" kits (both calipers) will fit your car. Just not your stock wheels, so if you make a change there....well it's an option.
If you have not checked out the options of late you should! TCE MARAUDER KITS
TCE still offers the SS hose kit for the stock calipers as well as the C5 conversion too.
I could debate the pros and cons of all of the options listed but the reality is there's never been a 'one size fits all' when it comes to brake choices. I believe TCE/Wilwood based kits remain the best available for you car today just as they have been for many years. Cost more yes...but you get so much more for the money!
I echo what Todd stated in his post TCE/Wilwood based kits remain the best available for you car today just as they have been for many years. Cost more yes...but you get so much more for the money! and may I add confidence when you push on the big pedal to stop!

Thanks for the support fellas but without Zack this big brakes on a budget project would have never happened.
I have Baers on Taxi car and the budget setup on others, the braking is superior to stock.
The one with Wilwoods on 4 corners is superior but at a cost, thus the big brakes on a budget title.
Those were the days.........
DANG THEY'RE CUTE!!!!!!

I love THIS bar
