Honestly, I think the real question is what is the purpose of your car?

A Wilwood setup with adjustable pressure may be a bit overkill on a car that is primarily street driven, where you will want your booster. If you've ever done threshold braking from 100+ mph without a booster, believe me, you better have nerves of steel and a strong leg, or have a safe runoff.

A lot goes into braking that a bunch of people neglect to think about...stiff front suspension can affect proper braking, and the best brakes in the world do no good without proper tires to maintain the grip.

So think about the car's main purpose and go from there.
