They sell 13" rotors, 6piston caliper kits for the front of the S13 with EVERYTHING you need to install them for 1495$, for front.

Also they have a 12.2" rotors, 4piston caliper kit for the rear same thing buy 795$ for the rear.

And a cheaper kit which seems like it would be more comparable to the Z32 Setup, For the front with 12.2" rotors, 4 piston calipers. $795.

IMO prices seem good also seeing as its Wilwood, you know their a good company for calipers.

Also they way that these kits are made it look like they have NEAR OEM clearance for wheels, but thats just what it look like in pics.

Hope this isent a repost.

Wow that would be an overkill. Just get Z brakes and be happy.

crioten

it depends...it would be overkill for a stret only car, z brakes would be over kill as well...

on a full track car, its not overkill at all

Those look great, and price is nice too.

Although I wonder if they're 2 piece rotors like the Rotora and Stoptech 13" front big brake kits. Those can be had for $1700, so $1500 is awefully close. If it has 1 piece rotors, I'll go for Rotoras first any day of the week.

I'll call them Monday and ask about their rotors.

They are clearly 2-piece in the picture.

i like the sound of the 12.2" 4 piston calipers for the front

I wonder how they mounted the rotor. The rotor hat looks WAY too thick for 240's. So either they must have used some sort of spacer between the hub and the rotor hat or for some reason the thickness of the face of the rotor hat is freakishly thick. Either way, your wheels are gonna stick out more. Which is good for peeps with pizza cutters but if you got nice wheels then it'll just fuck up your alignment settings even more.

It looks to be a really nice setup at a very fair price.

Look how short the studs are. I doubt you could get your lugs on after you put this kit on.

I didn't even notice that. WTH. This kit looks freakin fubar.

alkemyst

I have read wilwoods need yearly maintenance compared to brembo due to something or not being sealed I think.

I don't know for sure, but I would research that first.

^^^ you should research that a bit more and come back to us with confirmed data

Ian

i noticed the lug thing right off the bat...i think this raised hub is for wheel clearance...i mean look where the caliper sits in relation to the wheel/hub mating surface...longer studs are definately necessary but look at what you get from that! BIG ASS BRAKES that clear stock wheels...and i guess built in spacers as well?


meh now that i think about it, fuck this wilwood kit..just get stoptech or some otehr company that is KNOWN to fit if you absolutely need brakes that could stop an unloaded 18 wheeler

sykikchimp

I believe that is the z kit, not the 240 kit.. someone should ask them about the lugs before you guys just assume longer studs are necessary.

that can't be a kit for the Z, there's only 4lugs. And from the pictures, you're definitely gonna need longer wheel studs. But that is a fair price. Sure 6pot calipers and 13" rotors may seem like overkill, but as said before, on a track only car, there is no such thing as overkill. Any numbers on the weight of these compared to aluminum Z brakes? 13" is a lot of rotating mass, and 6pistons can't be good for the unsprung weight.

If you have a car fast enough to use up the 13 inch brakes then you will not be complaining that they weight slighty more then some 11 inch setup that would never meet your needs (remember, the car is fast enough to need the 13's). Those brakes are about as light as any regular 13 inch kit is going to be. The Caliper is not that heavy, the rotor is 2-piece so it's going to be about the same as the next 2-piece with the same construction.

sykikchimp

don't assume you need longer studs.

It depends on the model of Wilwood caliper used. However, you're correct, some Wilwood calipers don't use dust boots on the pistons - they're meant for racing applications where rebuilds are frequent and a rubber dust boot could be a liability.

This appears to be the SL6R caliper.

crioten

so...

does this caliper need to be rebuilt often?

It's more than some, from browsing their website a while back it seems all but one caliper does not use dust boots. And the one caliper that does have a dust boot is weaker than the z32 caliper.

EDIT: actually I take that back, it looks like there are two wilwood calipers with dust boots.

alkemyst

Ahh I see some now are using dust boots, that was the issue I remember now (this was mustang applications for a 1988 Mustang GT in around 1992).

I hate buying things that add to my maintenance.
