Im thinking of upgrading my front calipers to wilwoods as they seem the ones to have. Ive already got some reddot grooved discs lying around and by car already has braided hoses.

Not sure whether to get midlites or powerlites? Is anyone using these?

Also been strugling to find somewhere who does the brackets?

Anyone with wilwoods got any tips on these and also what pads are people getting on best with?

Cheers

mintex 1144 or 1155 are recommended but i don't run wilwoods.

as for brackets a lot of people on here bought in a group buy from tony who was getting them made up.

Pads:
Normal driving: Mintex 1144 is supposed to be good
Trackdays: I prefer Performance Friction 01

Brackets: Yozzasport

safe, cheers.

Any advice on which calipers?

As far as ive seen, the only difference between mids and lites are that lites have no dust covers. Is it sensible to buy these? How often would you need to clean them out?
