Wilwoods dont have dust seals around the pistons do they?

No dust seals. For racing aps they prob not needed.

Also saw these on trademe

One thing I will say about those Supra 4-pots is on the downside they weigh seriously 7 kgs for each caliper.

On the positive though they are designed to pull up a full weight 1700 plus kilo car the Supra and were responsible for stopping the Supra from 100 kph in about 32 metres which when they were designed back in the 90s was a record.It was only surpassed by the set-up on the GT2 Porsche turbo in 2003 so when this is taken into consideration I feel $600 is quite a cheap price for the calliper you will be getting which has heaps of stopping power.

I used these callipers for 5 years and in a 8 lap runs at Manfield I'd see 24 190 plus KPH stops with excellent stopping no rotor pad or calliper failiure bar 1 when I melted a set of Mintex 1166 pads in 30 odd laps.

Was that the day you were having fun against 60cuba????

Actually I was chasing GTRPWR around Manfield when I argh put the back end of my car into the tires off the front straight..And yes I ws SH*TTing myself when I did it.....

I think you can get brand new Supra 4-pot callpers from Toyota for about $600.

Try about $780

Currently there are some Wilwood pads for sale on trademe. Old stock discontinued by Cardwells.
Dynaite DP11 pads $40 for a set of fronts
Superlite DP11 pads $60 for a set of fronts
Superlite DS3000 Ferodo pads only $100! for a set of fronts

Last year they were alot cheaper than that and to be fair for a calliper like that I think $780 is cheap as if you went to buy them 5-6 years ago you would be paying in excess of $2K.I suppose at the end of the day if you want something good that works well you can't pay peanuts.

ionic, do you have the skills to adapt supra rotors and calipers to my LX80 mark 11?
also, how do you get a warrant with a brake bias adjuster-any problems?

Technically, the bias adjuster should be certed. And its supposed to be covered, locked in position or too far to reach from the drivers seat , so you can't change it easily while driving.
But it depends on who your cert and WOF guy is...

Lol I didn't really want this to turn into a Wilwood vs OEM Supra topic....I'm making the Supra adapters for my car because I have cheap (free) access to the whole setup and am able to rebuild them myself.

I figured since I'm gonna be making the adapters anyway - I'd be a good sport to open the offer to anyone else that wanted some

If anyone's still interested PM me.

i weighed the st205 calipers ages ago when i painted them
4.4kgs each , so not too bad

they stop the celica at taupo with out any fade.
