Anyone ever go with these? Looks like a Wildwood kit, but I haven't seen them this cheap before including 14 inch rotors.

I woudn't want the drilled rotors, I would want slotted for track use. Has anyone gone this route. I've seen mixed reviews about the wildwood calipers flexing under high heat, but claimed the problem has been fixed since..

It is a revolution brake (vendor) that is using wilwood calipers to make a BBK. The cost savings of this kit is in the rotor/lines since you dont really know what youre getting.

If i were to get a wilwood kit I would get their factory kit.

I hear there is a fire sale on Rotora....but wouldnt suggest there is speculation that they have gone under as well as the crappy pad selection.

I was looking for under 1500.00 which is why this caught my eye.. Looking for OEM used Brembo's or some other Reliable bbk for short money.

I would like to get a nice front kit, but I'm spread thin with Tires and rims coming up before spring.

so in other words the vendor is using AUTHENTIC wilwood calipers and other shitty rotors and brake lines ?

Call Todd at TCE Brakes , Wilwood Factory are not much more. Buy once, never worry again.

I would assume authentic Wilwood calipers. Wilwood calipers can be had for a low price but they may not be sized properly for the application. Just because it fits doesnt mean it works.

The lines/rotors may be good, may be crap. Who knows. At that price I wouldnt expect top of the line though.

Will the w6a fit Rpf1's +15?

This is tricky. Getting someone here with experience with these would be very helpful.
But if you don't find any reviews, you might as well play a game with the bear.
Sometimes you get him, sometimes he gets you. For that much money , you hope you get him instead. I want a BBK but taking my time to save to buy something I can trust, once and for all.

I contacted TCE, but for the 14' package Billet superlight caliper, I probably could go with Stoptech for around the same price ~2,000. It's more than im comfortable with at the moment.

Don't know, but the Wilwood BSL6r differential bore calipers will fit will plenty of room to spare. Thats what i have on my car. Really no need for the W6A calipers unless you are building a Grand-Am or Unlimited Time Attack car.

Is the kit to get, and its in a GREAT price range. http://www.tceperformanceproducts.com/350z/g35/kits-9/

He was giving me the impression that I needed the W6a and that the bsl wouldn't be ideal for tracking.

That kit looks solid though.

I'll stand by that: if open track day use is your primary intended use the W6A would prove the better choice. More mass and larger pads are always good to have.

Space wise the W6A takes up .190 (3/16") more space than does the BSL6r. If wheel clearance is no issue then this is the preferred item. But it also carries a premium price of a bit under $500 due to the substitutions. (and 14" only, although 14.25 would be workable also) *Compare to the same Corvette kits retailing for $2400 and you have the same thing.

As for a referenced fleabay option....the FSL does not in any way properly fit a 14" rotor. Every pad in it when mounted will show well over 1/8" of pad overhang relative to the rotor edge. It maxes out pretty much at 13.3-13.5 comfortably.
