I finished my brake upgrade and changed out my Varga discs for a set of Wildwood and not cheap but better than trying to do the rears.

Mike, I was looking at those calipers as they are direct mount to the disc brake spindle.

Is this photo before or after using the wilwoods?

I notice that your rotor has shiny surface swept depth (red arrow). There appears to be a band about 12mm of unused rotor near the ID of rotor face Green arrow. So my question about the wilwoods is that red swept depth from the Varga pads or the Wilwoods? I'm asking because you will generally get better braking and less hot spotting from pads that cover the entire swept depth of the rotor face (blue arrow) which it sort of looks like the wilwood pads may cover more of the rotor face.
