Wilwood Kit

Recommended Posts

Adnic69

I am looking for some 307 brakes but for the life of me I can't find any to buy. I am tempted to just buy the wilwood ones on ebay on the link below. Does anyone have them or know anything about them? I know that they are the smaller disc but have read there are problems with the 283mm disc and fitting.

 

Or

does anyone have any for sale????

I used to have those wilwoods and was impressed, the pedal bite was still at the top so was no need for a bigger m/c.

 

The one problem with them is the lack of dust covers on the pistons, i used some brake friendly grease for protection and cleaned them when ever changing p&d's.

 

Almost forgot you'll need longer flexi hose's because the pickup on the caliper is further away, rally design supplied two front braided lines for a good price :)

I have them on my track car here http://www.mdracing.co.uk and quite rate them... I picked mine up second hand and they no need new pads so hoping it will give them a bit more bite but generally I've not had any problems with them other than being a bit tight under the 15" Speedlines!

Is that with a 285mm disc or 260mm?

Believe it or not but the 260mm's are close on a 15" speedline aswell, but to the inner edge not the outer :)

Is that there close but they still fit fine or they catch in places?

they can catch depending on if you have speedlines or smr's i believe, if you look on both the inner moldings they're different ( crazy i know :) )

 

I had the smr's and needed to grid the wheel by about 1-2mm because i'd hate to sand the caliper, i figured good balancing would sort the wheel out and it did :)

Good to hear as i was looking at these brakes also. Did you get yours from the same seller Mfield? Also what pads are you running with that setup?

I bought mine from rally deisgn and couple years back, i was suing what ever pad they came with but i found they needed changing after about 6k miles. The next set i got were the ones for big cars like cossie's and subaru's, they feel crud for about 30-60 secs before warm but the bite was nearly as good as the previous pads. On plus side they seemed to last twice as long :)
