I am actually referring to a company that makes big brake kits I am looking at getting 6-8 piston front caliper with a 380mm-400mm floating rotor with titanium center bell and hardware.

For rims I have a set of discontinued tsw's 20x8.5 +40mm for the front in satin black. I am talking to forgestar tomorrow to order a set of d5 drag wheels for the rear.

They offer a lot of different applications for their kits, but their quality isn't the best. I can only speak from track specific experiences with them, but they left a lot to be desired.

Experienced caliper flex, knockback, and if I remember right, it was an uncommon pad shape at the time so there weren't good compound options. I felt like the rotors were softer too as we had to replace them more frequently. This was on a 550whp time attack Subaru. Switched to Stoptech Trophy ST40 and never looked back.

Not a lot of performance oriented BBK for XF30/31 chassis so I could see where your choices are really limited. Never was a fan of Wilwood either.
