Sweet that looks legit. Is that the ebay kit that was up some time ago?

Yup. I got it from a guy named Daryl on ebay. Super nice guy. He helped me throughout the install and answered all of my questions.
Wilwood calipers and pads, generic rotors (323mm), SS hoses, and adapter plates/spacers.
I just drove around for a good 20 minutes with them. Outstanding. Combined with my 20mm spacers at the front and 15mm at the back, the car has a much more mature feeling on the road. I ran near WOT in 2nd (4000rpm) with the brakes on for a good 2-3 minutes as part of the bed-in procedure. I expected them to be so faded I would hardly be able to stop, but to my surprise, they didn't fade at all!
They were toasty warm, but it's clear they have massive stopping power.
All and all an absolutely worthwhile upgrade. Can't wait to try them on the track, but I suspect I'll need to adjust my brake bias first.
