Default Wilwood Brake kits

A local distributor has started carrying Wilwood and I'd like to put together some packages for local owners.

One would be a stock 16" wheel kit and the other a BBK for larger wheels.

Does anyone know the part numbers for the smaller kits (12.2" rotor, 4 piston caliper) and the larger set ups (13-14" and 6 pots??)

Also, do Wilwood do the caliper mount adaptors or are they custom?

Kit part no's don't exist. The wilwood kit's we have were made by brakezone out of wilwood components. It's not something wilwood made.

The only part numbers you might be able to get are the caliper and rotor part no. The brackets and hats I believe are custom. Contact Spugen, they should have the info you need.

Because StevenM has fitted this kit to his S2000 in the UK, and I am organising a Group Buy for the kit as we speak!

The gain is not huge obviously, but the improvements in resistance to brake fade, pedal feel, and unsprung weight reduction are all worth it when you are talking about a product of this price.

Let's not forget the Spoon caliper also only offers these slight improvements. If you want to REALLy improve your stopping power you will need bigger wheels and a six-pot caliper!

Another bonus for this kit is that it will fit under OEM wheels - 16" AP1s need no spacer and 17" AP2s need a 3mm spacer.
