Ric Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Hi guys I've purchased some uk brakes which I'm getting refurbished so they will be as new. I've also seen some wilwood 4 pot superlite calipers, these have a larger discs at 440mm over the ukspec size Can anybody offer any suggestions if these wilwood would be better than the uk brakes or not?

bignum Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Think you have the discs size wrong, thats like 17-1/4 inch:), but anyway i nearly got one of the kits your thinking of until i did abit of reading up and also mentioned it to chris wilson Something about the calipers flexing to much, really the only advantage with the wilwood is pad choice, I went with a brembo gt front kit in the end and tbh they`re unreal and loads of pad choice as they use gtr r35 rear pad shape!

Ric Posted June 4, 2014 Author Share Posted June 4, 2014 Sorry yes 340mm not 440 heh, still 2cm larger than uk disc. I would use the front kit with the uk rears but was looking fort more advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bignum Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Ok, they`re cheap and nasty, also what put me off was the discs, the ones that come with the kit are re-drilled and unkown from another car type, so when you come to replace them? it may be a nitemare.

Chris Wilson Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Never been a fan of Wilwood stuff, built down to a price, not worthy of comparison with Brembo, AP or Alcon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lewysdanny Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I,ve got the front set up with Wilwood , calipers , discs , and bespoke performance pads . Its a very good kit , certainly better than the uk oem set up ( I,ve had both ) on a few Supes. Because one or two don't like them does,nt mean their inferior . That's their opinion .
