wilwood calipers?

[BoostFed325]

are they any good.
i was looking at there 6 piston setup...

Common on cricle-track cars, formula cars, but haven't heard anything good about them on the tin-tops (street cars). One guy had a 6/4 pistons setup on his E30 M3, and he complained about lack of brake feel and it was too easy to lock them up. This could easily have been remedied with a different master cylinder size. You have to look at how rigid the caliper is, how well the seals hold up to the high pressure of a street-car brake system, and wheel clearance.

i have 19" hm2's soo i sould be able to fit any brake kit

i had the 4 piston ones on my old miata, stopped very very well, also held up well on the track

[BoostFed325]

im not sure what im gonna get.

[///MEric]

you could get the ap racing kit. but that will cost more

[BoostFed325]

those are like 3000 i think

[BoostFed325]

i might just save and get the hamann front setup to match everything else.

[BoostFed325]

anyone know how much the hamann front bbk is?

[///MEric]

you do know that the hamann kit is not a 6 pot kit. If you are looking for a good kit i would go stoptech they are very good and are cheaper then most other set ups

[BoostFed325]

ya the hamanns are 4

[BoostFed325]

i dont auto cross soo any bbk is gonna be a good upgrade for street

[BoostFed325]

i really want to get the hamann kit but im scared to see how over priced it is.
but i have everything else hamann

If you don't track the car, why are you getting them?

This is just a waste of money if you are just driving around on the street.

[BoostFed325]

for show

i mean i track like 1 or 2 times a year for fun but im not even good enough to need a brake upgrade.

[Spencer]

Well, at least you are honest.

You made it sound like you wanted it for a street upgrade, which BBK's really aren't for. They are for sustaining consistant braking lap after lap at the track..... or to just look good.

[BoostFed325]

i know my brakes are gonna look funny with 19's hm2's

i cant seem to find a price on the hamann set

[BoostFed325]

what about 14" brembos
what do those go for about 2100?

[BoostFed325]

anyone have a better pic of the hamanns besides this ? http://www.khymotorsports.com/catalog/images/c13.jpg

if your going show i would go stoptech then there kit is like 2000$ and you will get the look you want and they will perform as good as the hamann kit
And if yea do want 6 pistons then at ap racing kit is 3000 and the brembo kit is around 2300
