Wilwood Here I Come!

Just got this via email a couple minutes ago from Brian @ Fastbrakes. Am speechless!

"Your kit is all ready to ship, finished brackets yesterday"

After more than 2 months including the design spec stage am now close to realizing my front brakes. This is what I'll be using:

Wilwood Superlite SL6R (Billet Narrow Superlite 6 Radial Mount) calipers
Coleman Racing 310mm X 28mm (12.2" X 1.1") 2 piece rotors with alloy centre bell
Wilwood BP20 brake pads
Brakes hoses, adapters and caliper mount brackets, etc.

Now I have to get the parts delivered. Then will have to test mount with my new wheels to ensure these clear the caliper else will have to order a hubcentric spacer kit with extended length lugs. Oh and hopefully I will not have to upgrade my brake master cylinder. This one's a big bummer which I'll blog about in due time. Stay tuned.

llsaw said...: Not so simple lar. The BMC has to have 2 inlets + 2 outlets. Now having said that wonder if Tilton does customization services :); March 13, 2011 at 10:12 AM
