How about the set up that vwcool designed. There is a thread somewhere on here. They looked like pretty serious upgrade without the outrageous price
tag.

also - good luck getting MOST wilwood calipers approved, almost none have dust seals which you will find is one of the req's for rego/approval
probably in every state
+1 for the vwcool or v-force options if you need them
