wilwood Tech-53 kit

hi all

is anyone using the wilwood tech-53 big brake kit just wondering what people think of them

i take it no one has used them then  

No there are folks on the vortex that have upgraded to those, the issue is that the Vented GTI rotors on a VW are just as effective and work well with Ceramic pads.
The rear upgrade from drum to scirocco disks are just as effective as well.  

They are just a tad too pricey for me, usually more than you can get for the car, and you will never re-coup the price.

IMHO.

I am going to be using normal g60 280mm discs I just doubt I will be needing the 2 pieces discs

Thanks for the reply

I'm fitting mine over the next couple of days. Exactly the same kit with G60 discs. I'll let you know what they are like once I've driven it.

I had some 256mm dynalites on my caddy for a while, master cylinder upgrade is a must. I used a t4 25mm one, I don't think they have dust seals so wouldn't want to run them on a daily

keep us updated

my car is now running and close to being ready for collection after 10 years of the road

start of april i am collecting it

All fitted but I haven’t driven it yet. Will update next week once I’ve had it out.

Clearance it fairly tight but nothing fouls.

well done mate

bet you cant wait to test them make sure you bed them in correctly

a few 80 to 10 mph hard breaking will do it just don't come to a stand still till they gave cooled

I’m looking forward to seeing what they are capable of once run it. I’m going to fit a bias box as well, to lose servo and horrible linkage.
