poxenham Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 (edited) Hey guys,I'm working on putting together a 13" wilwood brake kit made by my company Fully Torqued Racing that would not be excessively priced, but still high quality and have the essentials you need to make an sn95 stop fast. The necessary hardware to adapt to a SN95 would be CNC milled in-house and provided with the kit. . Posting around a few different forums to see what kind of brake kit people would want to see, so if you've seen this before, carry on .Here's the current specs of the base modelWilwood 4 piston Dynapro CalipersWilwood B compound pads13" Blank rotorsStainless steel brake linesMounting hardware for SN95sPrice would be $874.99, but I'll do an introductory pricing for forum members/preorders for about $100 less. $774.99 What do you all think?Prototyped the kit a few days ago (comparable jfz calipers from a nascar late model pictured, final product will be wilwood)With 17" wheelAlso if this is in the wrong section feel free to move it Edited November 2, 2013 by poxenham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 What about 6 piston, 15" and narrow calipers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 looks good to me I could buy that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poxenham Posted November 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 What about 6 piston, 15" and narrow calipers?I'll look into that today. I just realized looking at wilwoods pricing that I could actually so 6 piston 13" for not much extra. I'll get back to you on the 15" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll get back to you on the 15"wilwood already makes a 13in superlite kit for 94-04I still dont understand the reason behind the fabricating a kit thing. Everything you need to run there stuff is on there site already and available threw them and there distributors. Heck you can purchase right threw summitt or jegs.Why not just become a vendor?

iRoush Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 What about 6 piston, 15" and narrow calipers?you're going need a brake proportioning valve if you're going to do that with stock brakes. 4-pistons are more than enough brake for the street and even road racing and for what FTR is offering for them beats the hell out of cobra r kit from ford.Pete, find a way to mount cobra PBR 13" fronts on the rear and that 6 piston front setup would work very well especially for those that don't want to upgrade their axle ends to eliminate the c-clip axle slide Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My goal is to make a high quality kit for a decent price.And I'm not sourcing through a normal retailer, I'm getting them through a wilwood dealer that I do business with often, and wilwood also offers qty discounts so I'm getting a good price. It's not like I'm just ordering from summit and then sending it right back out. Edited November 1, 2013 by poxenham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll pick up a pbr caliper this week and get it to fit on the back. Will post pics once it's working.The only issue is that it would also require a second independent parking brake, so that's going to add to cost. I'm still looking into a two piston floating caliper with e brake cable too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can piece together your own set up and buy from the cheapest distributor you can find, which is what most do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm offering a kit (ie you don't have to go hunting). At a better price (very possibly even better than if you went hunting). And it will be tested specifically with the sn95 instead of just piecing together a kit.I don't mean to be rude, but you already have a 14" wilwood kit so this kit obviously isn't something you'd buy right now, my target audience is not people who will throw away their $1500 14" kit that they're happy with and buy one for half the price. If you have the money and desire for all the features that the wilwood kit has, more power to you. But this kit is different specs and geared towards a different audience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRoush Posted November 1, 2013 Report Share Posted November 1, 2013 not understanding the hostility in here. $800 for a wilwood kit is a damn steal IMO. especially considering the cheapest 4 pot you can get brand new on the market now is 00R setup and that'll run you $1200 new.

For a $100 extra you can get a complete billet superlite 4 pot 13 in rotor kit complete already.Just for everyones reference heres what wilwood has to offer caliper wise. The dynalite: Its a smallish caliper (seven inches in length)..Piston area of 4.80" Pad volume of 2.1http://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/CaliperList.aspx?subname=Forged%20DynaliteThe dynapro: Again, a small caliperPiston area of 4.80" Pad volume of 3( I dont get that number, it uses the same 3.96" pad as the dynalite)http://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/CaliperList.aspx?subname=Dynapro%20Lug%20MountThe superlites: Now the calipers are getting bigger!! (9.5" caliper VS a 7" caliper)Piston area of 5.18 and pad volume of 4.9 (big jump)http://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/CaliperList.aspx?subname=Forged%20SuperliteBillet superlite: similar to the forged superlitesPiston area 5.18 Pad volume of 4.9. http://www.wilwood.com/Calipers/CaliperList.aspx?subname=Billet%20Superlite%204%20 Lug%20Mount Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
