Got a package from Wilwood yesterday.. our 6/4 big brake kit arrived. This is our first time working with Wilwood products, but I have heard nothing but great review from ppl in the muscle car world.

Entire system looks very complete with more parts than I remember bbk's to be.

21 more days until we leave Norcal for SEMA in Las Vegas. Can we get this done in time?..

Wish us luck.

This is brake Nirvana, Wilwood has always worked on my 86 Monte Carlo SS

Unlike big brakes I'm use to, these Wilwood calipers use an internal fluid crossover line. That means there are no external hard line for fluid to travel between the 2-half calipers. (not mono block)

Calipers are very light and actually has 4x bleeder valves due to this design.

Let's see how it performs on the track

looks great! that black finish on the rotors look amazing

JoeBoxer · 10-07-2012, 06:09 AM

Black rotors do look good but how is it going to hold up?

LSV8 · 10-07-2012, 08:30 AM

Black rotors look great if it can stay that way.. Lol

Most companies paint their rotors to prevent from rusting when parts are waiting on shelves.

I'm sure it's no different with Wilwood.

Wow that brake kit looks AMAZING

LSV8 · 10-07-2012, 08:05 PM

This was early in the progress 1.5 months ago. Actually what you do not see is the entire driver-side was already designed and mocked. You can see the lines of where the rear bumper will be trimmed.

We tested a J's Racing GT wing to measure how wide of a wing we will need.

A lot happening..
