If it's not new, it's certainly new to me .

It looks pretty nice, the rotors are slightly smaller than RB, Stoptech, and Brembo, but for the price ($1675 new) it looks like it's a good kit. Has anyone seen this yet, or have any experience with it? What do you guys think?

 

looks like a nice alternative... wonderin if the .80 clearance works with fikse fm5s..

 

My Fd was almost used for test fitting that kit but I was out of town so another local FD owner got hooked up. Last I heard he was still doing some work on the car so im not sure if he has had a chance to test them out much yet to give any feedback. They do look really nice tho and ive always been impressed with the quality of wilwood products.

 

Anyone know anything more about these brakes?

 

Summit racing has same part number 1494.00

Now I just need to know if people think these are worth a damn. Don't want an OEM replacement BBK.

 

if these are anything like the old m2 brake kit... definitely an improvement over stockers with hawk blues at the track..
if recallin correctly.. m2 used the same six piston wilwood calipers.. theres a set for sale here

 

I'm waiting for the sake bomb garage kit. Ap racing = win

 

How much are they planning to charge for that AP Racing kit? Any idea on the weight?

 

Great kit for the price. I have the old old M2 version of this kit which has an older rotor hat design and the Willwood Superlite 2A calipers (2 piston). I've been very happy with it, and I'm using a 929 master cylinder with it.

 

I'll be the guinea pig and try these out, they look nice and the price is right. I'm not looking to go 14 inch rotors or track the car really either. I'd go with the SakeBomb street kit if it destroys these, once we get some info on it

Awesome. I'm probably gonna pull the trigger on these too. Between the good tech info, the shallow caliper offset, and the great price, these keep looking better and better. I wouldn't worry about destroying these, but I am curious about brake bias with them. Their average piston size looks good for a 6 piston caliper, so I think it will be fine, but am not sure. Really the only big difference I see between these and other kits currently out there is the rotor thickness is about 1/8" inch less. I'm sure it makes a difference, but it can't be that dramatic.

 

I need to come up with something for the rears as well. Maybe 99 spec setup? I don't believe Wilwood makes a rear set. I have seen a rear setup by Rotora with 4 piston calipers for a reasonable price, but I'm wondering if that's overkill.

 

Bumping this up to see if anyone has bought this BBK. Any real world experiences or possibly comparisons? I see Wilwood also has a larger 14" version of this BBK.

 

As I mentioned above I have the older version of this kit. I just got back from a weekend at Mid-Ohio where I would regularly stop from 140-ish on the back straight without trouble.

I use Hawk HT-10 pads front and rear (stock rear with just upgraded rotors). I also use Motul RBF600 fluid which is important.

 

They fit under 17" wheels?
Looking to stick to smaller wheel diameter, 17's.

 

The Stoptech's 13"ers fit under a 17" wheel so these should be fine as well. MAYBE even under a 16". Depends on the caliper.

 

Mine fit fine under a set of 17x8.5 SSR Comp wheels
