The 6 piston wilwood option that fits under the stock 17" can be had here for $1850
http://www.350zbrakes.com/
...just an FYI for those those 17" riders that might not qualify for this package. Note: there is a slight difference in rotor size.

Just FYI, our kit will be priced under $1800 for the initial GB. And it will also be available in Black, Red and maybe other colors for the calipers. Here's an example of the calipers in Red. From one of our s2000 customer.

And also our rotor will be also bigger than the kit you showed. 14" rotors vs. 13.6 But we want to provide all of the final information under our for sale thread. This is just to show people what's the brake that's coming out.
Thank you for interest. I'll be looking forward to your questions and suggestions. If you want to ask any questions or place your order. Feel free to give us a call.
Thank you

First and foremost. They are using the old style 6 piston calipers which are ear mounted. Our set up uses the newest Wilwood 6 piston caliper which utilizes a radial mount bracket. The caliper also has a computer generated designed body which is actually narrower for more clearance and more rigid for increased stiffness increasing the overall performance and feel. This is the same caliper Wilwood uses for their Corvette Z06 kit.
Secondly, if you take a close look at the hat of the rotor, you will notice that ours are scalloped as oppossed to being completely round. This allows heat to escape from the center of the rotor. This is obviously a lot more difficult and expensive to do on our end but well worth the efforts.
Last and def not least, the rotors are far from being comparable. The 14" rotors we use are again Wilwood's newest design in rotor technology featuring a one of a kind 72 vane structure making it one of the strongest and most effecient rotors ever made. We also CAD plate our rotors not Zinc wash. CAD plating actually is absorbed into the metal where Zinc was can actually hurt the structural integrity of rotor.

just like I asked the StopTech guys --
any plans for a 13" 4-wheel kit? I track my car and I would rather run 17" wheels on the track. I don't want to fight fitment issues. A 13 x 1.25" rotor would be perfect.. fits under a 17" wheel, still has great heat dissipation and slightly lower cost, minus the 14" bling-bling looks that I don't care about.
I've been considering designing my own Wilwood kit, but you guys have access to cryo and cad-plating that I don't.
One final question -- does this kit include SS lines?
Thanks.

Thank you for asking abou the SS lines. In case any of you havnt taken a look at your front brake lines, next time your wheel is off, take a good look. The front brake hose is actually composed of 3 seperate rubber hoses with 3 seperate distribution blocks. Pain in the butt to duplicate. But we do Our kits not only come with the lines but are an exact OEM replacement.

I agree, options are nice......
my only reason for posting was to make it known to the guys needing 17" wheel fitments.
there is a huge thread somewhere on here regarding Wilwood kits that has TONS of good info and interesting brake discussions. I'll see if I can find it.
