Installed My Arizona Z Car Wilwood 6-Piston 13" BBK
After much personal debate I decided on the Arizona Z Car Wilwood 13" front BBK. The great price, reputation of Wilwood, and simple curiosity made my decision for me. Thanks to Dave at Arizona Z Car for his help and pleasant transaction.
Before anyone asks how they feel I'll just say my car stops just fine at the redlight...I won't BS anyone talking about bite or fade free from street driving. It's impossible to say how effective they are until I take my car back out on to the track sometime in January.
Anyways, the pieces are beefy...the 13" WW vented and slotted rotors are 35mm thick! Bracket is solid with a very nice anodized finish. The kit comes with SS braided brake lines which were used although I already had Earl's line installed a couple of years ago.
Project U B-Force pads I cooked at the last track day on the woefully inadequate OEM 2003 front brakes. Plenty of thickness but nothing but powdered cr@p

These guys not only sell/install the stuff, they rip the crap outta their rides at the track be it bike or car. The install tech I've known for years and is an outstanding driver himself (SCCA Solo2) including stints driving for TeinUSA at events. That's why I trust these guys, they'll tell it to me straight from their own professional experience.
your brakes look fantastic. sorry to hijack. enjoy!
