thanks,

ive had this set up. tbh dont bother just go for a good pad disc combo. it may have been because there wasnt much in the way of pads to chose for them when i had them but i was very dissapointed with them.

You get what you pay for (I learned this the hard way)! If you want decent 4 pot brakes choose something like Alcon, AP Racing, Brembo,...

Sorry Steve but you're so wrong it hurts :lol: those wilwoods I got off you are the best thing I've ever bought for my car, even better than the itb's.
I abused tose brakes for a solid hour going round castle combe, it was only after a full hour that I boiled the brake fluid :P

I believe the OP wants them for actual races of a reasonable length of time so they'd be ideal.

PM cliolord as he has a set for sale :wink: As for the 285mm bit, I believe discs are a PITA to find so you'd be better off going for 172 discs.
The calipers cliolord has are a direct fit for std size discs, you'd need to get a bracket made to accommodate bigger discs, this is something I want to do on my car when the brakes need replacing

Rally design do the pads, discs, rotas and calipers. Plus all the rebuild kits.

The Willwoods works perfectly even with the standard discs. The most important is to find pads suited for your specific needs.

I have never had my Willwoods fade or give up - which is probably more due to the pads and fluid used.
