Default Need advice on front brakes...

I need a little advice on what to do for my front brakes. I'm at the point where it's time to buy front rotors and calipers...and I don't know what to do.

I'm using a Mustang II front suspension...my choices are:

Use a stock Granada 11" rotor and a GM single pot caliper...

Use a Wilwood 10.75" rotor and 4 pot calipers...

The first is the cheapest of course...with about $230 in cost.

The Wilwood kit is pretty trick...comes with aluminum hubs, 10.75" rotors, and 4 piston calipers...all with pads, bearings, races, etc. Price is $519.

Do I really need 4-piston calipers? I just have singles on the rear with 11" rotors. (Ford Racing SVO kit).

Feel free to let me know if the extra price is worth it....
