SPP Brake kit? Or RPI's 4-piston Wilwood kit? I'm sorta torn between the two...

I have RPIs 4 piston kit......
The calipers flex too much with the supplied bracket. compare that bracket to a BIRA/APR/STech/2Bennett bracket and you can see the obvious difference in mass. The kit works, but the problem is that you may not be happy.
The Wilwood SL caliper is an awesome, user friendly caliper with 4 achilles heels, the four cross bolts that bridge the two caliper sides together. The caliper tends to 'bulge' when used with the A8 25mm rotor, no matter what I did, I always had a soft pedal and ALOT of pedal travel. Pads are super EZ to change and Wilwoods polymatrix D type pads are really nice and grippy yet EZ on the rotors.
the car stopped...oh yes, but the confidence and road feel were not up to par.
If you want further info, E mail me!!
