they are only $725 from fast brakes -- i dont think that is that bad concidering that they fit behind the stock se wheels - does anyone have these?? Im wondering how they compare to the brembos and z32 brakes....the wilwoods seem cost effective because you wont have to convert to 5 lug and can use 15's....anyone have any have any opinions on these besides the fact that they look incredable?

you dont have to convert to 5 lug to use z32 brakes. Drill press! They are good but not really worth it considering the other options for these cars.

That's nice and all but here is the kit of all kits. I am actually getting these next fall.

mr2guy7 · 11-08-2006, 09:20 PM

dude that is sick 6 pistons for the front and 4 pistons for the rear... do u know anything about the parking brake he is talking about in the faq cause i didnt see it on the site

I have the Wilwood/Fastbrakes kit. I'm very pleased with it.

ledzeppelin240 · 11-08-2006, 09:37 PM

Yeah the parking brake he uses is a line lock. It just lock the brake fluid(hydral pressure lock) so that the rear brakes are always applied. You could always use a helper??single piston caliper and a hydralic hand brake to use as a hand brake. There was a write up on here, I can't remember who did it, search and you wil find it.

Luke did a hydralic hand brake for his FD and he described what he used and how he did it on here.

I've read that Wilwoods have a shorter maintenance interval then OEM or Brembo's. You have to rebuild them much more often.

full z32 owns... if u want more switch out ur pads for something that has more bite... if u want bigger flashy rotors... make a bracket so u can use the z33 rotors... u cant knock 12 pistons... on a s14... if u ask me its already kinda excessive...

OptionZero · 11-09-2006, 06:00 PM

S13 = Z32 F, S14 R
S14 = 350Z F, Z32 R

if ur going OEM parts, thats what i'd do
the biggest problem is finding affordable 350Z rotors, but if u can swing that, then i'd take this over any aftermarket setup

i've mentioned it before, but why mess around when people smarter than you or me (sykikchimp and asad) have already done the hard math and found setups with the best brake bias?

I have heard that the Willwood brake kit last a very long time. From Dave at Arizona Z Car says differently.
