just a simple pool to see what we think about original wilwood kits.


if anyone has track experience and comment please, post.

 

that's a subjective analysis. its really up to you.

 

Do you road/track race or will the BBK sole purpose be eye candy?

 

project Mu...

 

StopTech > Project Mu for the serious road racer.

 

i do track ( total nub for now ) , and if it works out, would love to T/A

so a bbk will not be an eye candy

it is a huge investment so i am starting to do my research early.

EDIT : NO FI ! and it will stay that way.

 

StopTech's FTW!!! Good Read: http://www.zeckhausen.com/Testing_Brakes.htm

 

come on ! stoptech is good but its no way THAT MUCH better than project Mu...

 

Project Mu are a great kit but hands down StopTech makes some of the best BBK's for the Z33 for the serious road racer. However a BBK is only as good as the tires stopping the car.

 

what set up do u have ?

 

Front: 14” 4-pot Silver Caliper,
Rear: 13” 2-Pot Silver Caliper,
F&R Slotted Zinc Coated w/ Black hat Rotors

StopTech has the best pad selection also.

 

StopTech is a great choice. They have a presence here on the forum, they are located in Cali, and they are active in racing. Parts are available easilly, and they are relatively cheap. If I need them refinished it's not a problem. I like the fact that I can call on the phone and get tech suport, and not have to talk to a slesman or an importer who knows nothing.

Contact PaulGT2 for pricing. And trust me... Worth every penny. Also, IMO, a much better kit than WilWood. I would buy some used OEM Brembo before the WilWood Kit.

 

Stoptech ST-40 4 piston front kit 355 (14") black, silver, red. Axxis ULT pads and SS lines. $1995 shipped. Zinc coating on rotors $65 extra.

All that test showed me was that Stoptech are not worth the money over OEM Brembo. Unless you're going for eye candy. Also, temps may have a lot to do with rotors. The Stoptechs use the aerorotors which are far superior to the OEMs. I was personally expecting a far better showing from Stoptechs.

If the OEM are that good, I wonder what the Brembo GTs can do.
