How about a GD on Wilwoods?

I would like to see a GD on the Wilwood big brake kit setups.

I have the 300zx set-up and you cannot compare that to the Wilwood setup. Wilwoods are better in every aspect. Larger rotors, calipers & more pistons.
Night & day comparison.

But thanks for the reply. The 300zx setup is great but I want....need better than that.
I even did the writeup for the 300zx setup.

His use 12.6" (I think) 2k4 maxima rotors with the 300zx calipers...so better braking than the regular 300zx brake mod.

How many pistons do the Wilwood calipers have?? The 300ZX ones have 4 and my rotors are 13". Matt's kit is much better than using just the 300ZX milled-down rotors. I'm almost positive Matt used to own a Wilwood kit anyway. Who cares if the caliper is "bigger"?

I thought that the wilwood kit was discontinued. Anybody know where you could buy the kit at regular price?

I have Wilwoods on my car now, with 13" 2-piece rotors. I have no problem putting my 2k4 / Z32 kit up against it if you give them both the same compound pads and brake fluid. piston number and sizes are the same, the Z32 caliper is more rigid than the Wilwood Dynalite that I'm using. the only difference as of now is the quality of the rotor. I'm using $$$$ Coleman rotors which are far superior to the Brembo, BPI, or OEM rotors, but otherwise the Z32 kit that I sell is just as good or better than the Wilwoods.

This is all stuff I did not know.
I just want to make sure that I have godd (or beter than know) stopping power.

Since I have the 300zx setup already. What else would I need to use this setup?

Thanx
