Your crazy! Talk to 2fast4u. I watched him go off the track in front of me at Sebring a few weeks ago becasue his pedal went to the floor with the OEM Brembo's. He wasn't even running R-compound tires. In addition he is on a stock motor = low top speed on straight aways. The only mod he had was his NISMO pads.

Stop magazine racing and get on a track.

Wilwoods here and i track mine. There is a great selection of pads directly from wilwood and most major pad companies make them too. http://www.tceperformanceproducts.co...s.pl?record=18

 

that is wayyy more ....

 

Than wait and save. I waited damn near 2.5 yrs before getting my BBK. Go StopTech! You won't regret it.

 

^ that is the plan. i am not rich enough to buy things twice.

 

 

OP: https://my350z.com/forum/brakes-and-suspension/326163-big-brake-kit-picture-thread.html

 

BBK's are for added heat capacity, not shortened stopping distances, I wish people would get that through their thick heads. A stoptech 4 wheel setup will have significantly higher heat capacity and dissipation capabilities compared to the OEM brembos. That is where they shine

 

^ ok, so how much less heat capacity an original wilwood kit will have ? so for me , not going FI and NOT trying to become speed racer, willwood should be fine, and i can take that grand that i would save and use it for DE / track time / new tires... right ???

 

The StopTechs are a larger rotor & Caliper that will displace heat more. If you're doing anytrack time invest in the StopTechs. Also the WilWood rear kit doesn't offer the parking brake.

 

Right. More then fine TBH

This is false information. I encourage you to call Wilwood if you don't believe it.

Wilwood rear kits for the Z33 will use the stock ebrake. Prior generation kits/hybrid kits may not have but the most recent Factory kit does.

 

Really ?? I'm running a 355mm 2 piece kit from wilwood on mine. How much bigger are the stoptechs ?

 

wilwood it is. 14" front - 13" rear. black, sloted rotors.

Paul @ ART got me a DEAL !

I have the same setup on my car , you will love it. I highly recomend a set of Poly B pads for track use.

 

Wilwood makes great race-proven, time-tested braking components. You can't go wrong with kits directly from them, or from reputable companies that have pieced them together with R&D.

 

my kit is 100% wilwood - that is what i was told.

 

Wilwood on all 4 corners. Got from Paul at ART. Looks great and feels great on the street. Wilwood gave great tech support during the install and backs up their product. Enough said!

Paul's awesome!

Then I sent em to OnADimePBS to get them powdercoated candy blue... ... mmmmmm, the hotness

 

I have had my kit for five years. I have road raced for the past four. I replace my pads from wear each year and have not had to perform any maintence other then clearing the pistons of dirt and rubber prior to installing new pads. These have been great. I do have cooling for the front brakes. I have 6 pot front and 4 pot rear. Great brake kit.

 

^ wilwood right ? if what you say is true, i am very happy !
