Default Wilwood brake caliper setup

i have a set of wilwoods that i am removing from my car,

they are dynalite calipers, wilwood part no: AN-120-4952

completely billet calipers so extremely light!
for some reason previous owner had tried painting them but i have removed most of the paint so they are bk to being anodised,

they are in perfect working order currently have ebc yellowstuff pads in with loads of life left, the discs have life left but i'd recomend using new ones, as far as i no they use the same size discs as subaru 4 pots 294, 295mm?

the only thing i would recomend would be some new bleed nipples as they got a bit mulled by a garage who fitted my braided lines due to them being siezed,
these are easily avalible service items, i no for a fact that rally designs stock them for like £10 for 4

im after £300 collected

first post updated with pics,

they are a little smaller than the brembo setup but a hell of alot lighter,

ive only ever driven with brembos in my old skyline so cant really compare to a scooby, but they had a very good feel especially when the yellowstuffs get up to temp

You save approx 4kg each side compared to standard 4 pots using standard 294mm Discs.

i would have thought so, they are a very narrow designed caliper,
they use the same size discs as standard 4 pots so i'd presume they fit under standards 16's
but i am not 100% sure,

sorry if this is a silly question, but are these actually better brakes than subaru 4pots, or just lighter?
