What would u use out of the two ?

Fast road / little track use.

Thanks,

Jim

 

wilwwod

 

Are willwood any good? I have herd mixed feelings about them

Jim

 

ive heard mixed reviews about hi spec. tbh, id go for ap. is it for the s2 or the focus rs?

 

I've got Wilwood on mine & have never had a problem with them, personally I would highly recommend them but as others have said some people have had problems with them.

 

It's for the S2 mate. I wish i cud put ap on it but @ 1600 quid for a set i dont think so.

I think i might give the wilwoods ago Im looking @ the SPL4 Kit with the 300mm disc.

Any other ideas pep's

Jim

 

Whats £1600 compared to good brakes that may stop you from killing yourself/youre passengers or innocent road users as you rip around the roads (or fast road use as you put it!!)?????? Time to kop on.Regards Micky

 

O Joy! So what you are saying there is I need 1600quid + worth of brakes to save my life!!! Im sure there are other brakes out there which will be ample for the job.

I can only spend 700-800 quid that is why I am looking at wilwood or hi spec.

Think I am going for the wilwoods and a wilwood brake bias set up.

Cheers,

Jim

 

Im pretty sure that Willwood are a subsiduary company of AP in the same way that Brembo are.

I've seen Willwoods used on numerous dedicated track cars.

Willwood would be my personal choice based on having seen them work and work well.

gotta be hi spec.ave had wilwood and didnt like them

 

How cums mate? What didnt u like about them?

Cheers,

Jim

 

they just didnt stop the car very well compared to the hi specs.

 

what power is your s2 running?

 

comp brake do a set for 600 quid, better than ap and hi spec

paul and North yorks RS spares sells them

they are a 300mm 4 pot set

higly recommended

 

for the money i would get a set of brembo's [focus RS] and then get some custom bells and then get some 330mm rotors!!

this lot should come to around the same price as what your looking at.

hopr this helps

 

The car is gonna be running 300bhp or there abouts. Do u have a pic of the comps?

Yeah i might try the focus rs setup.

do these large brake kits, 300mm or so fit behind th 15" rs turbo wheels?

 

300mm won't

 

Id go for willwood

 

i wouldnt go for either , id use some st brakes , and get the rear converted also

 

There is the pic of the compbrake one that fits under a standard wheel.



Its a lightweight alloy 4 pot caliper with bigger disc which is made as a disc and bell set up to avoid warp.

This set up has been tested in competition (by me) against Wilwood and blows it away without any questions.

 

Rear brakes should effectivly do sod all mate. The back of the car is so light that they are almost not needed.

Uprate the fronts first
