Wilwood Brake upgrade 6 piston fixed review

[ddubdb3]

I have these brakes installed. They are great and definitely as most are saying when you need them they are there! The only drawback is brake dust.. Yes I know this is contradicting as these are performance brakes and expected however for those who aren't prepared the brake dust from these pads are real!!!

@Badgertits How much is the Power stop kit? The Wil wood from what I've seen on there website is around 1,700 bucks

Ive been shopping around and still undecided if i need "big brake" upgrade for just daily driver.But im seeing Wildwoods for fronts@ $1595. The PowerStop for complete 4 wheel Z23 set (#KC6268) and Z36 are selling for $1060 to $1241 depending on site.Big difference since you getting all 4 wheels..

It's not apples to apples... not even close.

Totally understand they are not the same,but some dont need the Big Brakes and i was just answering question that @Nesc204 had asked about price of the PowerStops.

A quick one! Wilwood all four corners saved me. It’s been 3 years and they are barely worn. I did 20” VR601 wheels to get the biggest set I could. Thanks Nick at Apollo. They match the wheel well mouldings. A buddy of mine did Alcons which do work but are dirty as hell and spit hot brake materials that melt into the wheel finish.

@Johnny@Apollo-Optics what would be a good matching set for the rears if i don’t want the wilwood kit? I’m with OP on this and don’t want to go bigger than the 18” I’m currently running and don’t really think it’s needed for the rear in my application.

Well that varies really, are you already running the wilwood front?

If so we have a hook up at R1 thatll machine the rear rotors to look like whatever wilwood application that we offer to people.

not currently, although after doing much reading on here, its seems like it could be in my near future, so ill be likely reaching out to you on DM for that order! im in the market for new brakes anyways and this seems like a viable option since its plug-and-play. just didnt think id need to get the rear 6-piston setup they offer, hence why im looking for something to match.

my only question would be besides the minimum of a 17” wheel, i would assume offset play into account of fitment? I’m running te37xt’s so they are 18” and not worried about that dimension, I just believe that they are a -1 offset, so would a small spacer be needed?

Oh I am interested in that. Can you guys DM me details. I just put the wilwoods on my Gen 3 and would like matching rear rotors. @Johnny@Apollo-Optics
