I went Wilwood for my brake upgrade on the GT40.

Wilwood Pros:
Cheapest price wise
Plenty of pad options
Cheap plentiful parts available, even here in Oz.
Good performance(as long as you get the right caliper models)
I could buy them as a bolt on kit. The rear needs modifying to fit, but includes drum handbrake.

Wilwood Cons:
No dust seals, is this really a problem in our cars. Not from current users and not with so cheap parts(pistons) available even locally.
Not legal, but it's a grey area.

After looking into other premium brands I started to feel the sting of being locked in for expensive part prices if I ever need any. And some also stung you pretty heavily for non-standard and limited choices in pads.

The next best option I looked at were Skyline/300ZX R32/R33 4 piston calipers and DBA rotors.

And then there is always the ebay Commodore calipers, always a favourite.
