Default Wilwood Stage 1 BBK

so i recently put the stage 1 wilwood kit on my 2006 base Z. the stage 1 kit includes rotors (drilled and slotted) , pads, SS lines and 4 piston Wilwood calipers.

the install was relatively simple, the only hard part is controlling the mess! it was my first time installing a whole new brake setup so i was a bit messier than i should have been.

the break in period after everything was installed was a BLAST!!! everything went just as the CD that comes with the kit had said. the performance is nothing what i am used to! i just tap the brake pedal and there is instant braking force. my main concern had been that during daily driving i would hit the brake pedal too hard and end up stopping too soon but its not a problem at all.

easy install, easy break in period and good looking kit! i highly recommend this kit to anyone who is in need of some extra braking power!!! ill have pics up in a little bit.

Thanks again to Alex at OnADimePBS for the kit and excellent customer service!!!

any questions about my install ill do my best to answer!

Do you mean fit? I'm not sure, but I know the wilwoods come with adapter brackets. You can get this set for 2 grand. A used set of Brembo's is 12-1500. I'd personally (if the reviews stand up) go with the wilwoods.

Stinky? i smell like Abercrombie 24/7 homes! but thanks man! on my setup we switched the bleeder valves from the one with the kit to the stock ones. the stockers bled easier. and we had tools that fit the stock ones.

if you are referring to fitment then go to OnADimePBS.com and there is a chart on fitment. that was really the moment of truth for me haha i put my rim on the hub and took a deep breath...perfect fitment with no rub.
dont ask me what my front offset is! i really dont remember. i just know my rear offset is +30
