Upgrade the Front to the 6 piston Aluminum housing Caliper and the new cryogenically heat treated drilled/slotted cadmium plated 13" rotors today.

Tan: So do the Wilwoods all come of the new design which allowed you to get by without spacers, or is this effectively an "option" to the kit?

I gave them my wheel specs and they customized the 13" rotors/hat and calipers.

So how much more did it cost to have that done?

No, it did not. I was one of the first to get the original set up on an NSX so the specs were a little off for the 4 piston front set up. Now with this 6 piston set up the measurements were correct. I think SWR group buy set up is for the 6 piston set up.

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 are also inexpensive. The brake pads start at about $75 per set while replacement rotors start at $150 a piece compared to $300 a piece from Brembo or AP.

Sherwin is Top Notch!

I couldn't agree more - his judgement and frequent advice carries serious weight with me. Really knowledgable, friendly, very into what he does and a generally cool person on top of all that.

Sherwin has defiantly done his homework with the design of these brakes. I am also very grateful that he allowed me to be his sole distributor for the nsx kit. Please see swr bbk special. These kits are being sold at cost for the sole purpose of getting the kit out in the nsx community. As people install these kits their performance will speak for themselves. My opinion could seen as biased being the distributor, but Tan can answer questions about their performance. Earnest will be installing his set, and once jason gets his monster back from fx will be giving their reviews.

Bump :wink:

LOL!!! Okay ANYTIME, so what gives? Why in the world would you bump a 6 year old thread? They don't even sell these anymore. And SWR is dead and gone! And unfortunately, I believe the actual creator of this setup (Sherwin) passed away some time ago. A real nice guy.

However, I do have this entire setup sitting on a workbench in my basement, waiting on wheels that can properly clear them.

My bad. I was looking at some of my old posts and came on this thread and thought I would bump it because the brakes seemed like a nice product and that's it :redface:

5 year old thread

How did he die? I think I may have known him... :frown:

Maybe, ANYTIME will start the post again of his F1 sounding muffler build.

Not as good as ANYTIME's 6yr bump but is this kit still being produced by Wilwood or did Sherwin procure the Wilwood parts and built his own kit?

I'm interested if anyone happens to know more info. Thanks

Not entirely sure. I believe Sherwin put together the kit for Brake Zone. When I was at SEMA I stopped by the Wilwood booth and talked to them about a better parking brake solution. They had no idea of a NSX specific kit, but they weren't surprised either. Nor could they suggest a parking brake solution.

Sherwin developed the brackets and adapters himself.

Thanks for the reply guys. I do like that the replacement parts for Wilwood are much cheaper and that they are local to me. I guess I'll give them a call.

Whoa. A legend came back to post here on Prime.

Did you meet Sherwin back from your s2ki days with the black S? I spoke with him about the Wilwood kit for my S back then. He sure was a nice guy.

 

[TURBO2GO]

Shocked to see RyanITV post here too. Man that was years ago I almost bought his NSX. In retrospect, I should have.

 

[juejaimon]

Sorry to bring up such an old post but does anyone know where I can find the replacement rotors for this kit? i know the fronts are 13" x 1.1" and the rears are 13" x 0.810", however i am not able to locate these on the wilwood website. Any help or leads would be great, thanks!
