Just on this very specific topic and having no bearing on anything else. Those calipers are junk. There is a reason they don't make them anymore and they were replaced with the Aero6.

I don’t doubt that. And after using multiple products I feel most of wilwood stuff is junk. Doesn’t change the fact that following his advice I’d have paid several grand for what $100 in MC fixed.

I was sold the wilwood I have by another vendor on here claiming them as an awesome setup. And here we are.

They’ll be replaced eventually, but for now I’m enjoying driving it and they work well enough for my skill level.

Something everyone should remember, including myself.

Luckily I learned it early as I was a college kid thrashing on a cheap 4th gen. Cheap suspension, cheapish brakes and decent tires. I feel i was just getting the hang of it after probably 10k miles at TWS in that car. Now trying to learn on something much more capable, much more power, much less experience with it. I doubt i get into much brake fade or caliper flex on the autocrossing i'm doing with it right now.

Next setup will be something more, track oriented, and less budget friendly i'm sure. Maybe these will end up on my C10!

Am I the only one who feels that this threads title is also applicable to that one time when you trusted a fart and e shouldn't have . ? ... Asking for a friend... yeah uh Bill is his name

I'm going the League of Shadows route on this one. This thread is beyond saving, and must be allowed to die.

We're creating serious divisions in our community guys. Is it worthit?
Everything that can be said, has been. People have already made up their minds, and there's nothing anyone can do to change it. Not what this forum is suppose to be about.

will69camaro 09-17-2018 06:55 PM

I'm not sure i see the division you do. I see someone trying his best to point out issues he's having to keep people from making the same mistake. He has said numerous times that if you want to continue to business with him, feel free, but he's clearing his conscious from the potential for having someone do business when he could have warned them.

At the end of the day, everyone is entitled to spend their own money, their own way!

I think this thread should get a sticky :headspin:

RidiCat69 09-17-2018 07:05 PM

Well whatever. Just my .02 I didnt expect anything different

FETorino 09-17-2018 09:02 PM

I’d say make the thread a sticky so the history doesn’t get buried but close it.

I agree the points have all been made and now people who weren’t involved are at each other.

Fact. Ron started this thread and then dissapeared.
Fact. If there was something said on here that wasn’t true he had every opportunity to defend himself.
Fact. Ron F’d Greg over .
Fact. Ron helped some people out with thier setups.
Fact. Ron delivered parts ordered to some people.
Fact. Ron took an unreasonably long amount of time to fill some comitments he made.
Fact. Ron made comitments he never made good on.
Fact. Ron filed for BK.
Fact. Ron put his supposed friend and professional driver in an unsafe cockpit full of oil fumes (stuff is flamable and you shouldn’t breath it)
Fact. Ron didn’t pay some of his vendors for products or services provided that he sold to customers.

The final fact is everyone has a right to read this thread and make thier own decision to thier own benifit or detriment.

So believe the guy desperate to make a buck who has, and is, filing BK.
Or
Believe the guy with more $$ than I will ever have or could imagine having, a guy who regularily helps people out and is generous to anyone who hangs out with him, for admitting he was a dumba$# for being duped by a snake oil salesman and is trying to warn those who can’t afford to waste thousands of duckets like he did.
