wilwood all the way, i have dealt with ssbc personally and there stuff have been nothing but problems every time. wilwood makes some really quality brake stuff.

The wilwood calipers are lighter, and I am willing to bet there are more pad choices available for it. I however would not go with drilled rotors though.

Also I believe all of SSBC products are made in China!

I gotta ask one more Q..

Why are you gonna put $800+ worth of brakes on a beater Honda? Are you going to road race it, or are you doing this for bling factor?

Keep in mind that the Wilwoods do not have piston boot seals. So driving them in the rain or snow will eventually get crap into the caliper. I do not recommend Wilwoods for a daily driver.

I know very little about the SSBC's, so I would check and see if they have piston boots either, my guess is no.

If you are looking for an improvement in brake feel, a good set of stock pads and rotors go a long way, and can be done for under $200.
