Default Wilwood Installed!!

:D WOW!! What a difference. I now have to be careful when stopping. Had to stop fast on the way home tonight and when people say stopping on a dime, this box now stops the moment it touches the dime! Amazing. Wilwood said the rear will be ready around June or July with the rear e-brake and I can't wait.[/img]

The whole install took about 1 1/2 hours. Even someone who doesnt know how to do it would only that about 2-2 1/2 hours. It is the easiest bolt on ever! The bleeding of the brake lines took the longest, about half an hour. It doesn't look like the wheel moved out. If it did, it's very little. I highly recommend these brakes and cannot wait for the rears to come out. :D

Why did the bleeding take so long? I just saw a LAVA xB number 80 with the willwood set-up too. He had the 18 size brakes.

:D The only reason for the long bleed time was it really didn't feel right. It now feels TIGHT like we like it!!! :D :D Had to stop quick on the freeway and I felt as though I would go through the front window it stopped so fast! The drilled and slotted wholesales for $1201 and the flat ones are $1021. The rears I didn't even check cuz no e-brake so I'll let you know when they release it with the e-brake. I'm out of them at the shop but they are a day or less away to get cuz Wilwood keeps them in stock. All the calipers are black but if someone wants another color, I can ask them. They did mine in red! :D I think the only drawback to having the brakes on it is that I can't see the Hotchkis sway bar as good anymore.
