Default Need some insight>>> WILWOOD <<< 6-pot 14" with 4-pot 13" also PICS?

Hi Guys,

I'm looking to upgrade my brakes/looks mostly. And since I figure on spending some $$$$$ get something decent. I say decent because I don't track my G yet.

So, if anyone could share some knowledge and pics of these BBK's that
would be great!

In addition, if you have any other suggestions on BBK kits other then Stoptech/AP let me know.....thanks

I heard that with the Wilwood rears you will loose your e-brake. Not 100% on that but did hear about it.

Depends on how the kit is made. The one from wilwood lets you keep the e-brake as well as the one from fastbrakes. Im not sure about the one from TCE but it probly does.

I have the 14" front and rear. Its a great kit if you arnt going to do a lot of serious tracking.

tce sells the factory wilwood kit that does retain the parking brake.

Sorry I've said this many of times. I'd rather see people invest in a used set of OEM Brembo before the WilWood kit. One of the main reason is the lack of e-brake. (Guessing they now offer a kit w/ an e-brake??) If you're going for looks why not get something like the Endless kit. That is sexy!!! Comes with a price also.

Also if you search and read through the Brakes & Suspention forum you will see many review of every kit available.
