Wilwood FNSL6R??? - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Devil 86 · 01-12-2016, 02:58 PM

Can anybody give me some insight on the Wilwood 6 piston calipers? I plan on buying only the fronts to use for the track/autox as well as bling. The reason I'm leaning toward the wilwoods is because it can fit stock wheels ( i use the stocks as a spare). What pads are u using to maintain proper brake bias? For example what pads would work good for the wilwoods if I had PMU Club racers in the rear. I would keep upgrading the oem brakes but it seems that upgrading to a BBK is more cost effective.

If the brake kit itself doesn't change the bias, then just use the same pads front and rear. I'm not sure if those calipers change bias though.

Use this calculator to figure it out. You just need to input the correct front caliper specs and then mess around with brake pad cf to figure out what you need and then find a pad with that cf.

Ill save you a little time and tell you stock front bias is 69.7% (.697 on the calculator)

The calipers itself don't change bias much but running different front and rear pads do, which is what I'm worried about since the wilwood caliper doesn't seem to utilize the same brake pad options that the oem calipers have.

Go Carbotech then, they have options to fit the willwood caliper up front and the OEM rear

Project Mu has a size for Wilwood according to their site it seems but doesn't break down compounds (http://www.project-mu.co.jp/usa/prod...ad_import.html). Maybe contact them or one of their dealers like CSG or Evasive

CSG has plenty of pad options that will fit the Wilwod SL6R.

I might not have used the correct numbers, but came up with about 65%. Sounds like the RR Racing thread has shown shifting it towards the rear is working out well on their kits that do that. Looks like a pad with about .1mu higher in rear should shift bias about 5% on stock calipers. I'm looking at different Raybestos compounds to do that.

Bumping this thread because of the good title.

I am planning on running the PolyMatrix B pads in my 86 club racer, it has 500HP and the wilwood 6 piston front and 4 piston rear kit.
I have been running the BP20 pads but i want more endurance. Will i be able to get enough heat into the rear pads to get the polymatrix B pads into their efficient range? (in a 20Minute sprint)?

any help or insight appreciated
