Default Post your Wilwood brakes!

Have an order in with Frank for my Wilwoods and have a little time to change my mind. Right now I am going with the 13" rotor up front and 6 piston caliper and 12.2 and 4 piston in the back black.
I am kicking around the larger rear caliper and red powder coat still. Let's see them brakes! Especially a black car with red calipers!

I say go big out back just for the cool factor. The red would scream on your car! Which by the way I have started calling "Blackout".

Can I borrow a few bucks? I agree with you about the bigger calipers out back. Try to save a few bucks here and there but that doesn't seem to be happening.

No pics from me unfortunately. I too have a kit on order from Frank and crew. 12.19" all around for me with 6 piston on the front. 13" front was too rich for my blood. Anything is going to be a HUGE improvement over the 4 wheel drum system however. Looking forward to pictures of installed systems...

Default Just put these on

13 inch rotors front and rear. The rear caliper, although only 4 piston, is the same physical size as the front 6 piston. Rim size is 18 front 19 rear.

Thanks for the photos everybody. As much as I like the Red Calipers I think it's to much bling for my theme. Frank has wrestled another 1200 bucks out of my wallet. Going to run 13' rotors front and back, 6 piston, large 4 piston rear, cross drilled and slotted, in black powder coat.
