Hi everyone !

I have just signed up to this forum after reading some post/threads the information and knowlegde is very interesting ..

I would appreciate some help and information about the following ..

I have a S15 Silvia that i want to start drifting in. I want to upgrade the brakes to this ..

LF= Wilwood caliper
RF= Wilwoo caliper
LR= 2x Wilwood caliper (1x footbrake and 1x E-brake)
RR= 2x Wilwood caliper (1x footbrake and 1x E-brake)

I am unsure on the best way to do this ?

What Model Wilwood calipers ?
What Rotors ?


Is the Suspension arm setup any good or will i need a complete setup of Arms nuckles brakes and rotors ?

I also want to put a new E-brake in the cockpit with Wilwood brake Bias adjuster and a pedal box setup ..

Any help / websites ect appreciated i am new to the car modding scene.

I have added some Photos of the rear setup and will post some front photos soon.

Honestly, how long have you been drifting? If you're just starting, running dual brake caliper setup isnt exactly a must have. I'd spend my money on some coilovers, aftermarket arms (tie rod/ends, tension rods, Rear upper control arms, and toe arms) and some really good brake pads.

Hey mate

I have only just started but having been racing speedway for 6 years now so i am learning and improving fast each time i get the chance to go out in the drift car..

Are the arms and Tein Drift EDFC coilovers not good enough for drifting ? i have most the arms you stated aftermarket and adjustable ends on the car .. can you see the pictures in the first thread ..

Or are these arms and coilovers no good ?


Thanks for your help .. I am willing to spend money eberywhere so just let me know what is the best to do with everything and ill go from there haha
