in for pics. I love bbks. I want front and rear wilwood eventually. To me, having a big brake kit just puts a car on another level for some reason.

Thanks. It took a lot of work to get them to fit with 16" 4x114.3 wheels.

Here's the same on my spare wheels:



Unfortunately I think I'm going to need some spacers to clear my GABS. I have some 10mm spacers to try so I might have pics of them soon.

nice bb setups.

for you wilwood guys out there, how do you like them? i was looking into getting a set of calipers since they were a little less in price than other ones i was looking at. i want to use them for the occasional track day and autocross rather than simply ugrade my lines and rotors.

let me know! and keep em coming!

Are you sure those are 12.75" rotors? They look to be a bit smaller than that... maybe 11.75". I haven't seen any rotors bigger than the 12.2" on the Fastbrakes/Wilwood setup that clear a 16" wheel.

Not a chance of fitting them under 15's.

I like them just fine. Pad choice is great because they use the same Dynalite caliper for a lot of applications giving the aftermarket pad manufacturers time to catch up and develop pads. Now that they offer them with dustseals it's an even better buy.

What prop valve and master cylinder are you using?

Also what bracket did you use?

Seems like a caliper this big might be prone to lock up easily on a small car........although it is very sick! How do you like them?
