We are proud to introduce our new Wilwood Track-Day Brake System. Building on the success of our AP Competition Brake System, we produced this brake kit, with the intention of bringing race-inspired engineering to the broader motorsports market. Utilizing many of the specifications of our AP kit, we have designed what is in essence, a light-competition brake system, employing high-end track & street components. The result is a system which provides incredible performance for cost, accessible to the broader driving enthusiast market, which can be easily upgraded to race-performance components if you choose.
Forged Superlight Calipers use the same 20mm Brake Pads that our AP kit uses. These not only add additional thermal barrier between the rotor and caliper, but will also last longer than a standard competition brake pad. Many other calipers use pads that are 12-17mm’s thick resulting in reduced thermal insulation (potentially more brake fluid boiling), and significantly increased pad replacement intervals. In essence you're getting more brake pad material for the same cost of a set of brake pads. Thanks to using a very common pad shape, replacing pads will also be significantly cheaper and easier to source.
Our SBG Premium Brake Rotors have been designed to provide the highest possible performance for cost. Our design utilizes race-inspired directional veins, which drastically increases air flow compared to a stock, straight vein rotor. Our proprietary slot design improves the responsiveness of braking, with better bite, and prevents excessive brake dust build up, keeping brake components clean and improving mechanical engagement. Optionally this kit is offered with an upgrade to AP Racing Floating Rotors for extreme track use.
This is the perfect package for customers looking for the maximum bang for their buck when it comes to brake performance.
Our Package Includes:
• Wilwood Forged Superlight Calipers
• 6061 Billet Caliper Mounting Brackets
• SBG 325x32mm Solid Mount Premium Brake Rotors or Optional 325x32 Floating AP Rotors
• SBG Designed 2024 T351 Aluminum Rotor Hats
• DOT Approved Stainless Steel Brake Lines with dirt/abrasion sleeves
• Full Pictorial Installation Guide
We're finishing production and expect kits to start shipping late this month. Order now for a one time only introductory pre-sale of $1275! This is the best deal you will find anywhere for a track-worthy FD BBK kit and it wont last long, half of our pre-sale slots have already been purchased.
Great to see you guys offer an entry level brake option. I have your AP kit and rear kit and could not be happier with the performance. Great customer service too, so people can buy with confidence.
^floating two piece rotors offer room for expansion of the materials once hot and contraction once they cool off...... iron ring vs aluminum hat. More road-course oriented
That makes sense. But above it shows that both versions (standard and the available floating from the AP kit) come with the aluminum hats. seems like there is something I'm missing.

it's in the way that the rotors are made and the hardware used to connect them to the hats. The Wilwoods have bolts that are threaded and solid mount. The AP's have a more oblong mounting hole and use hardware that allows movement of the rotor from the hat.

This is a good explanation, thanks Smokey!
The standard rotor is a solid mount (uses the same mil-spec hardware as the AP but the hat and rotor physically bolt together). The AP rotor uses the same hat/hardware, but a floating "bobbin" that rides in an oval slot, so the hat is actually mounted to this floating bobbin that rides in, but is not hard mounted to the rotor.
For competition use, rotors get EXTREMELY hot, and actually expand radially due to the heat. This happens to cast 1 piece rotors, and solid mount two piece rotors. Now please realize with our front kit, this only applies to beating the hell out of the rotors, and our front rotors already run very cool. However... for extended track use and competitive racing use the super hot rotors will begin to cone as they try to pull away from the colder hat. The floating bobbin system used with the AP competition rotors allows for this expansion. For track-day use the SBG rotors are more than enough, however they share the same hats as the AP Competition rotors and are made to accept either rotor system for a hybrid brake system in-between our AP Competition system and our track-day setup
*** Just FYI to everyone interested we are now OUT of kits for the SBG rotors (as of this afternoon we have had 10 pre-orders to date, some red some black). We are now ordering more rotors, but we didn't expect these to sell out as fast as they are. We'll have another 10 sets coming and customers can continue to pre-order but please be aware brake kits are on a first-come first serve basis, due to the volume of pre-orders. ***
Update: We have more rotors on the way, and 15 kits have sold so far. 5 left in the pre-order group at this price. We are at the final stages of machining so it won't be much longer to ship at this point. Thanks to everyone who has signed up and participated!
