Wilwood and AP info
I liked thed idea of posting specs so i thank you for your number on the weight of my Wilwood kit. This gave me confidence measuring the weight distribution. Might not be as much but is important for the corner balance perspective.
The information from the AP was found in a video in Youe Tube in an installation video. The weight provided for the AP was ~20.7lb for the mounted rotor and caliper only.
Wilwood was weighted at ~22lb with the caliper, mounted rotor and pads.
The are couple of differences with these beside the pads. Wilwoods rotor is larger in diameter.
The AP rotor is wider but smaller in diameter.
Heat dissipation can be better in having bigger vents... Or you have a larger diameter to allocate heat over larger area, and probably have a different stopping feel on a larger diameter over the smaller diameter.
I guess work on the heat and diameter can bring different approaches in deciding whats best for you.
Money is a big contributor then follows another math of the specs of each product and what, where youll be driving it and how you drive too makes a difference.
I wanted to post these AP and Wilwoods weight comparison because on another forum the review omited the weight. And theres competition on these two.
Knowing the specs clearly contrasts the elements that one need to know to make sure when one end up paying itll be for almost the same thing, minus the price.
Cheers
