    Wilwood reviews?

    I would like to apologize on behalf of SWR for the missing brake fluid in the kit. As you know, SEMA is around the corner and has basically put everything else on hold until the show is finished. Unfortunately, as anyone who is in the industry knows, everyone waits till the last minute...

    If you wanted detailed technical info, give me a call anytime and I ll give you whatever information it is you need. Suffice to say that the over all piston diameters of the 4 piston rear caliper is not much different than the over all piston diameter of the OEM caliper. The difference...

    Brake Zone / Wilwood BBK

    Another topic that comes up quite frequently. Just as in bigger is not always better, more is not always better either. The number of pistons does not always equate to better braking. What does matter however is the diamater of these pistons. This is what determines the amount of...

    Brake Zone / Wilwood BBK

    As Craig mentioned, Wilwood offers a complete range of brake pads manufactured by Raybestos. They offer everything from a completely dust/noise free ceramic street pad to an all out endurance ready race pad. This brings up another great point regarding Wilwood components. Replacement parts...

    Brake Zone / Wilwood BBK

    Its impossible to give you a fixed time frame on something like this because the answer is completely dependant on each specific application. For what it is worth, I ran a set on a Miata for 3 years without needing a single rebuild. The car saw atleast 8 track days each of those three years...
