how many pistions and do u kno if they will clear your current wheels

 

well yeah....the 11 needs at least a 15 in rim........and the 13's require a 17 in rim......and im putting on 18's so thats no concern.....do you think the 11's would work fine or what aobut the 13's woul dit be worht the extra ? it has 4 pistons in both the 11 and the 13 in.

 

the calipers might hit the wheels
if it was me and i had the money i would get the biggest i can get but thats me
but u should see if the calipers clear your wheels first
i dont want u to spend all that money then find out u can put your wheels back on

 

Yeah....that wouldnt be too cool...........im just tryin to get everything together......becuase i start working on the car in a few weeks.....and i have to find all the parts before school starts....in 2 weeks........so that during the project we just find the part we need and order it........so thats my task right now......and i have almost everything but now im just getting down to the details and its getting harder to find the smaller things

 

You'd brake quicker by just upgrading to sticky tyres, good pads, good discs, braided hoses, and good 5.1 fluid. The bigger discs won't make you stop any quicker... you will just put the same amount of force on your brakes, but with less pedal effort, (Normally this is what people say makes it feel like it stops quicker).

Look at it logically. What is actually making your car brake? Its the friction between the tyres, and the road. If on your normal brakes you can break this friction, and cause a skid, then you can apply enough pressure with which to brake for. Bigger brakes will not make the tyres keep traction any longer. You can improve the tyres, which if stickier, will give you more friction to the road, and thus brake better. If you improve your pads, as well as buy GOOD discs, (any old drilled, or grooved does not make them good. They need to be forged to be decent, as if they are drilled by a shoddy company, they can cause cracks, and fractures when they heat up). Better pads, and discs will give more friction, but only any use if you have better tyres. big Disc conversions look good, but they are only really of any use to race teams, or if you are using your brakes like some deranged lunatic.

So... In conclusion, your honour, good pads, good discs, good fluid, good brake hoses (braided), and more importantly, god tyres will improve your braking more than a big brake conversion.

 

It really depends on WHY you need the brakes...

If you track the car, yes, big brakes are nice - but do not use cross drilled rotors, or they will crack.

If you just street drive, then you can get the big brakes and drilled rotors... but why... for looks, or a little extra stopping power?

Also, if you are going to do the brake kit, get the biggest you can fit under your wheels or also get bigger wheels.

And to answer your original question, the Wilwoods are a great brake kit!

 

you dont need that ****. go buy brembo's with some nice pads. will work just as good, if not better. as said before bigger brakes do not mean better stoping performance
