Because why?

This thread is just brutal... if you want a set of nice wilwoods, buy Aaron’s brackets. And enjoy nice looking and good performing brakes. If you don’t want to then stick with factory brakes as they do perform reasonably well on the 13+ cars considering the vehicle weight, suspension , and tires out of the factory. Seems like I each thread the same few people come in and turn it into a large debate. We are all here for the same reason, we share a common passion and use the same platform. We should all strive to push the boundaries as much as possible and obviously in the most cost effective ways. I’ve been a lurker on here for about a year, enjoy my first post.

@Ecoboost_xsport , @Nova and anyone else....I believe it is time to start the band back up.....

You guys make me want to sell my car and buy a 240 lol. Its becoming clear to me why the aftermarket support is slacking. Or why there aren't any 1000 hp shos running around yet. I never thought better brake kits would be so discouraged when I started this thread(especially considering brakes are a very popular subject for the SHO.) I will buy the kit from Lee and the brackets from arron. I was still considering fabricating a one off bracket for Porsche calipers even this morning. But after all this hate has come down on what appears to be a great innovation, I just want to be that thorn in your side when I put them on and everyone cries about how I could have gotten 2013+ calipers with pp pads.

You aren’t the first person to put them on so I don’t know what being a thorn in someone side is all about. This isn’t that serious....and the comment about no wonder I don’t see 1000hp SHO’s or something to that regard....clueless on how that correlates to expensive brackets to look good? To each their own. I’m sure they will look great on your SHO.

Practicing my moves for when I need to show up and teach someone a lesson!

It correlates because the same reason there aren't any 1000 hp shos running around is the same reason there aren't a ton of big brake kits available. Why am I seeing all these rs3 audis running big numbers? Because audi owners don't mind dropping racks on the aftermarket. And the reason I'm saying audi is because I have always thought of the sho as my American audi s4.

To many variables is exactly why I haven't bought a set honestly. I love how they look on @FiveLeeter918 car.

I'll admit that I rushed into this too much and I didn't get adequate before testing, so it wasn't a true apples to apples comparison.

My 60-0 with the Wilwoods and R1 rotors and 245 General GMax RS tires was 2.57 seconds, 114.71 ft with a -0.86% slope, Jordan's was 2.62 seconds, 116.65 ft with the Powerstop kit and a +0.28% upward ascent.

Before the wildwoods with bone stock brakes, my best was 2.75 seconds, 124.33ft with an upward ascent of 1.06%. With the R1 setup as a baseline it dropped to 2.68s, 113.11 ft with a 2.66% grade.

Jordan's car full weight weighs 400+ lbs less than mine, the downhill grade for me didn't help especially considering the added weight, but how much difference would it have made?

Am I reading this wrong? Are you saying that Aarons brackets are only for looking good?

 

[Matt Dylan]

Can everybody please go watch the episode of hi low on donut media about brakes. I didn't start this thread with braking distance in mind. The main advantage is weight and heat management. That's why Jordan's stopping distance vs lees stopping distance on a single run doesn't seem very relevant in my opinion. Or even Lee stock vs Lee after the upgrade.

400lbs less and stopped faster, on a slope down even? That should pretty much sum up everything we need to know to be honest.

I was downhill while Jordan was uphill. I'm a fully loaded car while Jordan is a base model.

 

[luigisho]

BINGO!

The power stops were also fuckered

 

[fordfanstan]

I was interested, not that I drive my car hard or have issues with braking now. But I can't stand the look of the stock calipers and brackets. The fact Ford didn't include something like Baer, Brembo, Wilwood, etc on a 'high end performance' car (relatively speaking) is beyond me. Once the price jumped up and I figure the total for all in, it's just too much $ for my reasoning.

I appreciate Aaron developing parts for this platform. The more the better.

 

[Kevin81]

You missed the whole point of my post bro. No matter what you post on here, it will ALWAYS NEVER just be about you and your car. Every major post takes the scenic route. Also Jordon is correct. With the tests that were posted via Dragy the juice isn't worth the squeeze.

Also I hope you buy whatever you buy. I will extend a real world challenge to you so the community can see actual results. We can compare my set up vs whatever set up you buy. We can use my Dragy and we can test whatever speed to zero that people want. Same street, same conditions, same time.

0-60-0. 5 times, back to back.

And to be 100%, you'd have to use the same wheels and tires.

 

[Kevin81]

I would absolutely want to see this conducted. Same ambient outside temps, streets, elevation, same tires. The tests conducted before had to many variables to be considered a fair comparison.

Me as well.
0-60-0 done 5 times in quick succession.


My money is on the aluminum calipers, edging out by break 3.

But that was 1 run. Do it a few times. Stock iron calipers will be boiling in no time. Aluminum stay cool longer, and cool off faster.

Glad I’m not the only one that considers this aspect of the brakes.
