No, I got the W6A. It's there biggest caliper and the pads are the thickest they offer. The rear gets the Superlite caliper 4 piston with a 12.8" disc.

Yup! The wing will not be. It has to be manufactured. I'm hoping to get some consistency. I don't think I will see a large time drop with the brakes since my current setup would work well for a couple of laps.

Wilwood makes some good shit though, without some hard evidence that the others are better Id prob go with wilwoods.
PS, Carlos, you are my hero. Let me know when I can take it off your hands  Def owe you one |
Dude. Will you paint some shit for me. I still have fire burns from Oct 09.

Hmm. Brake kit does not come with fittings for factory lines and factory fitting are not compatible. Hmm. Looks like I'm driving to Ventura county tomorrow.

Ventura is were Wilwood is. I saved myself the trip by having Summit next day air the brake lines and fasteners. I had no idea the kit's needed new lines and fasteners until I got halfway throughout the rears. I'm pretty frustrated with customer service across the board. Wilwood had a tech rep (Justin) that was great and helpful. I rolled and got another (jeff) that sucked. So now I ask for Justin by name.

There is a shop right next to Muffler Man that has a ton of fittings for brake and whatever else in stock. He can make whatever you want.
