Wilwood Brake Options

[byi]

Wilwood brakes

I’m currently researching a better braking alternative for my vehicle. I have no intention for track use and am on a sensible budget so Brembo, Alcon, Ap Racing and others do not interest me. As you will see bellow what appears to be a fantastic package from Wilwood is equivalent in price to the ever-popular PBR brake setup.

Front Forged Billet DynaPro 4 Piston Calipers

http://www.vpw.com.au/productgroup.asp?Cat...7&PrdGrpID=3554

$1,245.56

Rear Forged Billet Dynalite 4 Piston Calipers

http://www.vpw.com.au/productgroup.asp?Cat...977&PrdGrpID=60

$998.25

http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Pages/12/index.asp

Not taking into account postage and installation fees this equals $2243.81, which is on par with the PBR option. The major difference is that both Wilwood rotors are approx 330mm and 4 pot compared to PBR’s 302mm rear rotor plus 2 pot front and 1 pot rear callipers.

For those wanting a little more bite Wilwood also offers are larger front brake kit

SUPERLITE FRONT 6 Piston BRAKE KITS

$2,821.48

Dyna Pro and Dynalite are too small

I missed in the link where it says it fits BA........

I wouldn't do it..... but each to their own I guess

Thank you. The reason I started a new post as I could only find two members who had actual experience with Wilwood calipers. I was hoping that a few more might as several of those topics where dated 2005.
