    they look amazing man, are those the 13" or 14" did the car require modifications to fit them with stock wheels???????


    I would like to keep my stock wheels, and need the extra stopping power for real...

    thanks in advance for your input

    13" and the only "modification" is the 1/16" spacer.

    Did you really notice a big difference in braking, do tell. I have been kicking it around for awhile but if I spend that kinda money I would hope it would be BIG time difference, not just a incremental change.

    I may not be the right guy to ask as I thought the stock brakes crapped the bed and the EBC set up from Rienhart was even worse. They were a hazard to all. So the upgrade was huge for me. I would recommend the Wilwoods to anyone, everytime. I am careful about working the brakes hard and then sitting with the brakes on as these high performance race pads will leave a deposit on the rotors that feels like warping. Easily and quickly fixed by doing the rebedding proceedure. I have about 20K on mine with not one problem thanks to the very hard and expert work by carfixer and tallboy. Dennis

    There is a night & day difference in stopping power.

    Stops on a dime and gives you $00.09 change!
