Been longer in the making than I had hoped but here is the all new (replacing older BSL6) 14" Big Brake Kit for your Marauder! This new kit features the larger and more robust W6A caliper. It also uses custom made radial mount brackets exclusive to this kit.

The W6A is a proven performer on both Wilwood and TCE kits over the past few years including; Corvette, Lightning, Charger, Mustang and others. The W6A features a pad that offers nearly 20% more friction material than the BSL6 for longer life. A larger footprint ensures more stable pressure application making it more tolerant of run out while reducing surface temperature slightly.

Shown here with optional RED powder coat finish and Cross Drilled/Slotted finish this new kit is sure to make a believer out of anyone in need of some serious braking performance.

Looks good.

Wilwood brakes are one of the best mods I have ever done. A must on a S/C car!

By my calculations it will require roughly 1/4" wheel spacers.

Currently listing for $2250. Black. Slotted only.

Don't see that price dropping, but could actually go up a tad more relative to other kits of similar spec. Comes in about $150 more than the Wilwood factory kits retail for. Not bad really considering I can't compete with one of my own suppliers...

I am VERY interested. Any chance on a package price for front and rear? Maybe even a small trade for one of my children? LOL

Amazing they could improve upon a already great brake kit.
What are the pads made of & can they be interchanged ?
Are the F/R calipers float or fixed ?
Are the pistons stainless steel & are they larger than the older
BSL6 calipers ?

They who? Wilwood? They have nothing to do with it.

Are the spacers used between the wheel & hub F/R ?
The spacers would be required for only the front kit. There is no new rear kit.

What are the pads made of & can they be interchanged ?
Made of? There is a modest assortment of pad compounds for the W6A. Interchanged between what? Front and rear? No.

Are the F/R calipers float or fixed ?
All multi piston calipers are fixed mount, there are no floating or sliding six pot calipers, they don't work that way.

Are the pistons stainless steel & are they larger than the older BSL6 calipers ?
Pistons are SS (or alternate thermlock race for $ more) and are the same spec as those in the BSL6n 13" kit.

That's a nice brake kit!! Looks like it can make the Marauder stop on a dime and make change! :D

That a serious brake. If they were purchased through you, does the caliper say TCE?

Calipers say "WILWOOD"

The W6A is available in Black by default. Red, Silver, Blue and Yellow by special order ($150) they all will have the Wilwood logo on them.

There are few if any exceptions to this format any longer but for very large expense and time whereas I do the icky shuffle making some custom color or vinyl decal.

Is the spacer included and will this require longer wheel studs?

Todd TCE

The only spacers I offer for you car are the very thin ones required for the 13" kit. True wheel spacers, hub centric, and longer studs would have to come from someone like H&R.
