How much extra are the Wilwood's? The choice seems so obvious to me, but maybe I'm missing something.
I remember when I bought my Kirkham and I was thinking about installing the FIA wheels. Kirkham said if I go with the FIA's, then I couldn't get the big brake option. I said "OK, no FIA wheels for me then."
I have a 482 FE (600+ HP) and I just can't see not having the big brake option. Does not compute.

About $1200 more, give or take. As Chas would say, "ehhh, that's only two nights out at Ruth's Chris."

Well, that's certainly more than I expected for a "big brake option", but still a rounding error in an upscale Cobra build like an ERA.
I would think Chas is more of an Olive Garden kinda guy. You know, early bird specials and free bread sticks and all.

The price included ERA modified spindles, caliper brackets, braided hose with fittings, calipers, and the rotor modified for drive pins.
Now why would you think that. 
I'm a regular at the Olympic Diner, cheeseburger division.

I can't get out of that steak house for less a hundred a head, which totals out to north of $500, with gratuity.

Well, we see now why you ordered the ERA big brake option.
You know, if you eat more legumes, you might find that you can lower your dinner bills............and cholesterol.
