    Thumbs up Wilwoods installed

    This past sunday i got around to installing my wilwood's
    A big thanks go's out to NATEHAWK & TWIN03 for all the help.

    Took it for a test drive and tapped the brake pedal and the car took a nose dive!

    This is easily one of the best (and smartest) mods i have ever done.

    Fyi when we put the brakes on the car and tried to turn the wheel by hand the brakes were so tight it felt as if the brakes were already being applied.

    Apperantly this is "normal". After speaking to a few other members who have done big brake kits. They confirmed having the same issue. So after a little driving the pads wore down and seem to be ok now.

    Dyno tune next week!
    Here comes trouble!

    Also I was told that the mini spare will not fit with the wilwoods on.

    I haven't checked it yet.

    Maybe someone else will chime in and confirm it.

    I went with willwoods because I felt they are the superior brake kit.

    6 piston calipers compared to 2 piston.

    Lots of people I know with baers have had warping problems.
    As far as I know nobody has had rotor issues with the willwoods.
    Fellas feel free to chime in and correct me if I'm wrong.

    Plus willwoods are the only company that makes a rear brake kit for our cars as well. (which I will be getting at some point)

    All brake kits for the MM are junk unless you modify them.
    You dont get much for $1500 nowadays.
    And for the guys who chime in and tell me im wrong...you dont drive your car like I do.

    Hey all the "local" members know how I drive my car!

    These brakes are perfect for what I need! But I have only been driving on them for one day.

    I wouldn't say these brake kits are junk.

    These stop my car waaaaayyyyyy better than stock bro.
