Wildwood brake upgrade

Postby steroidcontaskie » Wed Dec 31, 2014 8:25 pm

Hi all

Halfway through my project car rush phase and had the wheels off today. Noticed the brakes look pretty sad and was thinking an upgrade would be good. Had a look online and these look like good value.

Anyone have experience with these wilwood calipers?

Cheers
Edward

Wilwood brakes are awesome. Good quality well priced calipers and good range of cheap pads.

Only things to look out for are to make sure you order the right size cylinders for you master cylinder and also they don't have dust boots on the cylinders so need servicing with new seals every 2-3 yrs

Cheers for that guys,

How do I findout which ones are suitable for my master cylinder? Is it expensive to replace the seals?

Either do some research into basic hydraulics and calculate your piston sizes to your ideal front/rear brake split... or ask someone like barry who orders kits for heaps of people and will generally know what size you should be running..

Nah seals are cheap and easy to do
