Useless Brakes

[CANDEE]

Are willwood calipers dust sealed against road dirt or are they race calipers? I had some superlights once that were no use for a road car at all due to the constant service needed having no dust seals.

No the Wilwoods dont have the dust seals due to primarily being a race caliper...

This would be the same as the D2/k-sports mentioned above too.

Im saying that I have Wilwood Superlite 6's going on the car in the next while, which should help with the pedal feel due to the smaller pistons vs the big ones in the Brembo's..

Wilwoods are really good value and the discs are cheap too even massive ones, they sell blank alloy bells to make your own 2 piece discs and even blank mounts to drill your own mounts but you have to take them apart a bit too often on road use to be practical for me, great brakes though.

I hear you Dom. But as i usually only use the car for 3000k/1800miles a year that isnt really too much of an issue for me.

I found the thread, here is the link to the NZ mmc where i put my vin number in, stick yours in and it will trll you if any recalls were outstanding in japan before your car was exported, only a few were affected but worth checking out.

The NZ site won't tell you anything. My car is outstanding for two recalls and it won't come up there, even though the car was imported before the recall dates.

The correct link is:

Interesting that a few are mentioning the pedal feel - my stock brakes are quite good for feel compared to any other car I've driven. You touch the brake pedal and the brakes are applied quite quickly. In saying that - mine has had the ASC recall done.
