T3 Wilwoods here. Basically some brackets to fit Wilwood calipers over some redrilled VW Corrado G60 discs.

Plus points:
They shave some weight
G60 discs are the cheapest out there..if you know someone that will redril them (FastBrakes claims they are their own design so they can sell you the discs at a somewhat elevated price point (x4) ).
It is one of very few 280mm setups that fit under my 14x7 Königs.
Upgrade path to 6 pots is a simple 250e caliper swap away.
Pads for wilwoods are the cheapest available.

Minus:
Guess the calipers could be a little stiffer. Doesn't bother me much yet
Redrilling replacement discs will be a bit tedious
Lightweight 2 piece rotors would be better. Luckily there are tons out there specifically for this setup. They are used under miata's, integras and corrados. So either order your own hats or redrill some others.

A wheel to steer the front of the car
A pedal to steer the rear
