Wilwoods are on!!
Wilwoods are on!!
Finally got the Wilwood brakes finished last night. Haven’t had a chance to clean the wheels but here are a couple of shots. What a pita of an install, I love the brakes but would not recommend them if you don’t have access to a first class mechanic.
The fronts went on fine but the rears are not correctly designed for this car. I have the correct rear kits but they would not fit without some modifications. The rears use an emergency brake that is a drum inside the rotor and you have to remove the axles to install the brackets. The stock bolts would not clear part of the bracket and the bolt heads had to be ground down. Hooking up the emergency brake cables required some real ingenuity, also had to make our own spacers to correctly center the calipers on the rotors.
The brakes are fantastic and stop the car so fast it’s unreal but know what you are getting into if you get these.
