no weight reduction today may have added a few ounces Loden Black Chrome Emblem. Feels like solid metal. They sent me the wrong one for the rear so I'm waiting on a reply from them

You have the WRX Wilwood front brake kit, right? Are you happy with it? How is it working with stock rear brakes? Too much dust?
Do you know anything about the following kit?

So far really loving the WRX brake kit . It comes with BP10 pads which aren't over aggressive and don't have any dust. On my C5 I have BP30 fr and BP10 rear and the fronts have terrible amount of dust.

It looks like you are supercharged so I don't recommend this kit for a heavier high powered car. I would go with the Specific Wilwood kit. Those RR brakes look decent too

My setup is really because I'm down to ~2500lbs and wanted a lightweight brake kit that gave a bump in performance. Its basically a Stock + kit that improves driving response (-30lbs unsprung front weight loss)

Thanks! I have JRSC and it adds only 30 lbs. My lighter exhaust and wheels have already saved about that much. So my car is not heavier than stock. If the brakes save extra 30 lbs, it will be lighter actually. RR kit seem to be heavier than the WRX kit since they specify as saving only 4 lbs per corner. I think I will go with WRX kit.

Yeah but you don't understand this kit has rotors that are thinner than stock. The first guy to use them was named Swift(something) he was supercharged. He said they were ok at first but with that much extra power needed something more.

If I went FI I would be going with a Bigger Brakes, wheels/tires, clutch ect

@mrg666

I think the WRX kit would be fine if you're not tracking it. If you are I'd look at something else.

This kit is very durable and drops 10lbs a corner.

Tom, what size wheels and tires are you using with the WRX kit?

I wonder if 16" wheels will fit over them.

Nice work man! Car is looking great. I am a weight reduction nut as well. Do you have the part number for that wrx wildwood kit? I'm all about the smaller / thinner rotors.. It's not the same thing but I have Strange Drag brakes on my Stang and it was a huge difference overall.

Thanks!
Its only really 1mm thinner than stock. I just don't want a 300hp FI person thinking its going to be significantly better than stock. Its meant to be 30lbs lighter while giving equal to slightly better performance.
The link above is for the stock WRX kit.
The only thing extra is the different caliper mounting bolts. Wilwood part #230-10425

Or you can buy the whole kit from ft86speedfactory with the bolts. http://www.ft86speedfactory.com/wilw...l#.W0NxUmcUnX4
