Default Starting to hunt for braking options---> need opinions

http://www.goapr.com/Audi/products/brake_stasis_b5a4.html#Motor This is choice one...OR

the 13" Wilwood kit. This is going on a higher HP A4...so I need to slow down (duh) and it's going to see some track use as well. An opinions on these two setups would be super, i.e. pros and cons.

Default make sure the Wilwoods have dust-seals. No big deal if you're rebuilding the calipers frequently or

inspecting them regularly.. For daily driving dust seals = good

Default Is that really a problem? Or have I been lucky?

I've always been a bit paranoid about the lack of dust seals on my Alcon's. Whenever I change pads, I clean the pistons thoroughly before I push them back into the caliper. [I had visions of an abrasive piece of grit cutting a notch out of a seal.]

Anyway, it's been four years without a problem ... knock on wood.
