Brake Update

[slack11]

How about a final price tag?  Is there any info on that yet?  I'm very curious to see what the total package will cost.

They did not have a price available

OK...It's the first week of April.   Just curious, has any one seen or purchased the new Wilwood front brake package?

USLC still does not have them in stock yet as of 9:36 this morning (Thursday), was told they should be in on Monday or Tuesday

I was told two weeks ago first week of April. On Monday I was told it turns out it will be  two to three  weeks more. So last night the old brakes went back on.
Now you say next week I do not know what to be leave. I gess we will see
Thanks cody

The new Wilwood brakes will be ready to ship on Friday 4/012/13. These are really nice and besides the advantages from a real race brake set up you will cut approx. 15lbs from your car!!!!
We have placed an ad on the dealer page for ordering!

Hey Dennis
Do you have any pics of what they look like?
do you know what style pad they take?
What does the kit include?
Thanks
Dirk

15 lbs...... must be this kit includes the rotors as well as the calipers.... 15 lbs. seems like a lot for just the brakes.....

Are the rotors included, or are these just for the calipers, brackets and pads.....

[knoxracing]

I have NOT weighed these!!! I should have clarified this and I am sorry.  This info was passed on to me by USLC. I  will have pictures as soon as I have installed a set. The rotors are not included. You will be removing both brackets on each side-  the wishbone backing plate, the caliper bracket, the slides, caliper and pads.  It very well could be a good amount of weight difference.

Boy oh boy! I received a call from USLC in regards to the $20.00  discount i am offering racers. I guess an unhappy dealer or racer feels I am stepping on someones toes by offering the $20.00 off, guys I am trying to help racers anyway I can. The $20.00 discount WILL remain in effect until I am told to remove the ad! This is a new product and I am trying to help guys who want it and have waited with a little help. Sorry if I stepped on your toes!

I'm skeptical of 15 pounds, but even 5 pounds is alot on these cars. Will be interesting to start getting feedback from guys running them

When I spoke with USLC back in January, I was told that the kit included everything, including rotors for right at $400.

THERE ARE NO ROTORS INCLUDED.  Since the first day I was involved in the brake update rotors were not discussed as being necessary and or included. The plan was to install a kit to our existing spindle and keep the existing rotor. The retail price is $399.00. I have offered a $20.00 introductory offer to anyone interested.

I imagine the caliper bracket is similar to the one Hawk Machine makes. It's a simple bolt on piece. A lot less weight than the stock hunk of iron!
The aluminum calipers weigh less than the stock steel pieces. Toss the backing plate.... I can see a significant weight savings!

I agree the pieces do add up in weight. I will weigh all the stuff as soon as I can and get it out there since I brought it up, I agree 15lbs is alot. We will see.
