brakes

i spoke to race brakes this morning- any suggestions other than ap racing, 3k for calipers and rotors is out of my budget at this point?

how much are the willwood kits?

[VTi-RT]

Wilwoods will cost $1700.00. Very good, very light (at least a couple of kilo's on each side).

yeah check out oversea's. AEM and willowwood are just a few who make big brake kits.\

[wynode]

I've heard good things about willawood

[gambate]

brake kits means calipers, pads, disks for all 4 corner?

Usually (from most companies) front kit and rear kit dude! So they come separate for front and rear.

Some include rotor of different diameter.... other kits are to use your existing rotor.

Also to look out for is what actual pads the calipers are designed for.... ie. some calipers are designed to be used with OEM shaped pads while others you have to use pads that are specific to fitting within that caliper.

Spoon Calipers made by Nisin I believe uses the existing pad style which in a way is a good thing in that you can go between compounds from different companies.

If you get all four corners break their balls a lil for some discount! ;) :thumbsup:

a friend of mine looked into getting willwood brakes for his car, but didnt get them because he was told they aren't legal for road use because they dont have dust seals(something like that anyway). I might be wrong but you would probably want to check into that.

[SPEEDCORE]

Well you WOULD have to get any aftermarket calipers passed by an engineer and blueplated no??

I mean you are changing a vital part of the car to something that was not originally approved in the ADRs when that particular vehicle came out.

I got S13 brakes on my AE86 and they needed to get mod plated.

I think the major concern is the fronts. Rears should be OK as even James (BLKCRX) is running stock rear disks with upgraded fronts.

The kit is fronts only, as the rears have very little gain if you go any larger.

As with all aftermarket things, the all have disclaimers saying it's for off road use only.

These things at least been race proven, and from experience they make a huge difference esp at high speed.

Other brands:
Baer
Spoon
AEM (they have fronts and bigger rear kits)

Check the us mags, they have heaps of different brands.
