Wilwood 2nd Gen Camaro Front Brakes
 
I have a Small Shop & it's time to Update my '72 SS Camaro...Shop Car..LS1 , 6 Speed ,all Bolt ons, has Been a Street / Strip car , Power Tours , Alot of Street time .
I Have wanted a Pro Touring setup for a long time so here we go ...Car is 3300lbs rt now , all Steel , Full Interior Stock Suspension , Mad Man Chromoly 8pt Cage , all Cal Trac setup out back with split Monos ( stock tubs for now).
I am Updating the Front for this Season & Plan on Street, Autocross , & some Dragstrip Time again Later.I am Hard on the Car no matter where it's at ...
So Far this is what is here ....a Complete VFN Bolt on Fbgls fnt Cap (50lbs) ,Full SpeedTech Kit ..Tubular UCA,LCA,DA Viking Coilovers (550lbsprings) , Chromoly Sway bar , Chicane True Coilover Conversion Kit , Billet Tie Rod Sleeves .Car already has a AGR 12:1 Steering Box.
What's left....Brakes & Wheels . I believe I will be Going with the Boss 338's 18x8fnt , 18x9.5bck . I have looked & Searched & Read ... Wilwood makes a Superlite 6R Kit for my Car (only big bolt on kit i found) , 14 " Rotors (slotted only ) , would Upgrade to the BP20 Pads .I read about the AERO kit in another Post & Ron Recomended a Caliper Upgrade but they do not offer that kit for my car... Can I change out the Calipers ? is this Superlite Kit 140-10486R going to be enuf ???
Just want to do this once & all help is Greatly Appreciated !
These Upgrades are to Promote my shop & help grow it as I come out of a Lifelong Drag / Street Racing Addiction .....Shop is all about Driving your Car.

Well ...is this my only Option ...where's all the 2nd Gen Guys ?? I am Ready to get these ordered & sure was hoping for some Good Feedback & Real World Results for my '72 SS.
I have Found the PTFB SL4-13 Kit for my Car ...Anybody using this kit from Dave ? Rotors are 1.25 vs the 1.1 in the Superlite kit....on top of all The Reading I have done on 4 Pistons having more Clamping Force over 6 ?

Thanks for All the Help ! I went with the PTFB SL4-13 Kit with Slotted Rotors ...it comes with a Bigger 1.25 Curved Vain Rotors . Dave was A lot of Help as I also Upgraded to the '79-'81 Camaro Spindles with the Bigger Bearings .

you're welcome!

I hope the brakes work well for you. I would recommend a different wheel than boss for your car. Go with something less generic. There are better one piece wheels out there that will fit the car and look a lot better. just my two cents.

good luck!

WANTSUM411,
How are the brakes working out for you? Would you do anything different?
