redzed has a spectacular aura aboutredzed has a spectacular aura about
wilwood brakes

who on here has got these? ive got them on my track car done by a previous owner and wondered about if they contacted wilwood direct or got a group buy or a specialist to do them. You can buy wilwood calipers cheap and just wondered about getting another set as all you need is the brackets?

Tbh m8 if you want proper stoppers then martins (Reylands ) bespoke 4 stoppers are a different league completely to either wilwood or the brembo's.
I and my brothers who has a Reylands escort cosworth will using his 6 pot setup.

I personally would be interested but more for cosmetics than stopping power as standard setup does the job but doesn't look like a performance setup.

Sadly circa £900 just isn't worth it on cars worth the same again.

Zs brakes back in 2001 were very good but until you stick a set of these on you will not notice how dated and poor they actually are, good upgrade tbh

I have GBE's big brake kit, Wilwood 4 pot calipers and 331mm discs and couldn't ask for more; well worth buying.
