I need to save that image...that's great.

I have more than a bit of experience. If 16yrs is a bit then I'd say I can answer about any question you can throw my way.

BTW it's WILWOOD: Short for William Wood, the owner.

Im not talking about fake GAYDM stickers im just saying i would rather pay top dollar for Stoptech or Brembo GranTurismo kit on my Z rather than a Wilwood.. Some people have budgets to go on so Wilwood may fit their bill.. Me personally brakes is my next upgrade and im saving up for the Brembo GT kit

Its close but it fits, you can also clear a lot of 17's for track use.

Wilwood suffers a certain amount of poor brand recognition in the Import street performance market. Not at all because of design, quality or functional issues, but rather that they are viewed more as the "Saturday night racer company" than the Stylish Brand De Jure of the moment. It's often more fashionable here in the US to have a fancy imported name on such parts rather than the lowly made in the USA stuff. (kinda sad really) Oddly enough their European market feels as strongly about purchasing their product over what's available in their home country! Seems whatever you can't have.....

Never the less with a host of options on the market these kits (despite what some will argue are their good points or bad compared to others) remain both a solid performer and a benchmark for value. If you're committed to spending more on a designer label and can't come to grips with a value product that's cool. That's why it's a free market.

wilwood kits for 07'-08' 350z?? Searched their site and can't find a thing!

If yes, do rear retain e-brake function? (read something about that once)

1. Yes
2. Yes

Wilwood's site is extremely old-school and has a lot of kits missing and wrong part numbers etc. so I don't blame you for asking. Feel free to send me a PM if you have any more questions. Thanks for the kind words guys!

Thanks for the info guys.I am not a designer label guy and I already know willwood makes a great product for dirt racing.I would assume the street stuff is as good.My wife says if I would just slow down,I wouldn't need better brakes.Once again,she proves to be a moron.
