I was curious as to which type of brakes(rotors/calipers) you owner/builders are using. I know some of you are mixing and matching, others racing or street. So do the poll thing and tell us of your decission between choices or why you chose that brand. Since I am having so many "Life Experiences" lately, expense has crept into the picture and is influencing my creative mind!!!

Bill,
Sorry - I didn't know which button to hit, as I am running AP CP5040s on the front with 315/28 discs and Wilwood Powerlite's on the rear using the standard Granda Cosworth disc. I can't tell you how it performs, but I can tell you the reason why I went that route.
APs - I could not resist a great offer from another forum member (a big thank you goes to that excellent fellow Dave Morton), which effectvely allowed me to put a great setup on the front, for about 2/3rds of maybe buying it from a supplier.
Wilwoods - Here in the UK a company has worked with Wilwood to develop and integrated handbrake into the caliper. This currently is only available on the smallest caliper in the range and only fits a 280 disc. The pad area is a little small but should hopefully get me through the government test if I ever get the car built... They hopefully will also develop the next caliper up (billed as the Dynapro on the wilwood site), which takes up to a 310 disc and has a larger pad area, so I willupgrade at a later stage (maybe). I also, managed to do a deal, so all in I should be able to put the rear brakes on the car for just under £300/$750 (AUS).
