Wilwood Brakes

americanwit · 07-10-2008, 12:24 AM

I was wondering if you sell the wilwood brake set-ups pictured on many of your cars and what pricing would be like front and rear as this seems to be the only brake set-up that retains a parking brake. Also would this separate small parking brake caliper be available separately.

From what I understand you need a special mounting bracket for the calipers due to their design. I inquired on another thread where one could find these brackets. And yes...a small parking brake caliper is available separately from wilwood. Just check out their website. If you need help sourcing parts look at Fastbrakes.com.

I do not work for ATS, but I think you are referring the the Precision Brakes Company big brake kit. They are a Wilwood master distributor, and they use Wilwood calipers for all there brake kits. They sell manufacture both a front big brake kit for the MR2 as well as a rear big brake kit which, as you said, DOES retain the parking brake. It should be included in the Precision Big Brake kit. Note that the calipers Precision uses now may be say Precision brakes company on them instead of Wilwood, but they are still Wilwood calipers. I hope this was of help.

Wolfkatz Engineering was working on a BBK for the SW20, you might contact them.

Contact Wolfkatz.

We have the brackets to run a Wilwood caliper with Supra rotors in stock.

Aren't the supra rotors huge? I'd like to be able to run wilwood calipers with 11.0"-11.5" rotors instead of the 12.8" supra ones. That's a lot of unnecessary rotating mass.

There is another vendor on this site that carries them and lists them on their site, all the available sizes, choices, etc, with prices...I didn't say anything at first because you posted this is the ATS section. Anyways, since they mentioned to contact another company anyways, I'll link you to the Precision Brakes Co product.

The Precision Kits are the 2nd one down (Front) and 3rd one down (Rear)
