Willwood vs Perrin 4 pot
#3
Subaru 4 pots
Brembos
Rotoras
Stoptechs
Stock with slotted rotors, lines, pads, and fluid...
Personally, I don't like the compact Aluminium calipers that are out there like Willwood, and Perrin. I feel that they don't help too much with Heat Dissapation because they get hot quickly... true, however, that they cool down quickly, but it's the brakes ability to transfer the heat to the rotor, and not retain the heat within it's self so much, and keep itself cool as much as possible.
Just my take,

The new Perrin caliper is much better than the previously used Wilwood version (4 pot not 6) for many reasons but the main ones being,
The Perrins do not have the flex seen on the Wilwoods due to better casting.
The Perrins were designed for a 3200lb+ car not a 2600lb one.
Not sure about the heat thing pointed out by Gagan as we have never seen this to be an issue.
Given more budget I personally would go for the Stoptechs! but if your someone hell bent on being able to use stockers in the snow then the Perrins are a better bet than the Wilwoods.
