Members Al F. Posted January 6, 2010 Members Posted January 6, 2010 Wilwood A-sedan kit. Its a radial mounted forged superlite caliper that uses 0.8" thick pads. Even though the pads are almost twice as thick as LS1 calipers...they're cheaper, go figure. That kit runs a 12.2" rotor but since its radial mount you can use a few shims to upgrade to a 13" rotor in the future if you feel its necessary. I dont, besides this fits under 16" wheels which is convenient. Quote
stevemichael Posted January 11, 2010 Posted January 11, 2010 What are you guys using?Home made (got a few ideas)? StopTech? PF? Brembo? Wilwood I have a line on some hats and brackets that work with the Superlite IIs, IIIs and the FSLs. I also have a line on used SL II and SLIII calipers. I am picking this stuff up for myself but I might just want to stay with the LS1 set up. I am not sure, the deal is too good to pass up. Quote
nape1548534725 Posted January 12, 2010 Posted January 12, 2010 Watch out on the SL II and III calipers. Those are getting old enough where they aren't just used, they're used up. Also, a lot of times they are the wrong piston diameter and will change pedal feel and also brake bias. Not trying to scare you, but I bought some used circle track Wilwoods then decided to buy new ones after seeing how beat the "nice" used ones were. With as cheap as FSLs are new, it's almost silly to buy used. Quote

ls168camaro Posted February 10, 2010 Posted February 10, 2010 What are you guys using?Home made (got a few ideas)? StopTech? PF? Brembo? So do all of them make a caliper for our car that comes under the price ceiling? What about the Porsche Big Red brake setup? Quote
