6 Piston Wilwoods UPDATE!!!

[ridered74]

That's awesome...

Not sure how much difference additional variables would make but there's so much more that goes into that stopping time/distance. Nice that it calculates incline/decline.

Orher variables that could affect that number are exact weight of the vehicle, temperature of the rotors/pads at the time of application, condition of the rotor/pads, condition of the tire, type of tire, surface the vehicle is on, and so on, lol.

I'm no engineer so maybe I'm splitting hairs. You should try to get a good average over a number of different conditions and temperatures. Would be cool to see how that time/distance changes, if at all....

I agree, basing anything off one run only doesn't show a true picture. Just like picking one good run down the strip and ignoring the 5 runs after it that were 2 tenths slower.

I did three within about a 5 minutes. Best stopping time was 2.66 @ 117.01 ft 1.12% slope. The other was 2.69 @117.27 feet with 0.00 slope.

If I get motivated this weekend maybe I'll throw my 245/45/20's on it and see if there is any change. I'm sure ambient temperature also has some effect as well. Today was 63 degrees outside.

edit* my rotors are factory original btw, just under 70K miles. Pads are probably close to two years old and 30K plus miles on them.

So late last year @aaron240 and I announced that we were working together to bring a set of 6 piston Wilwood calipers to the SHO market, and after some roadblocks and adjustments we finally have an installed and road worthy product!

Due to our Shelter in Place order in Oklahoma, I've only driven the car about 20 miles since the install, but plan to get some more miles on it today and get some testing.

After several Dragy attempts, my best 60-0 on stock 2013 PP brakes was 2.75 seconds. I wanted to get some numbers with the R1Concepts kit before installing the calipers, but it just didn't happen. Hopefully we'll see that from @Jordan_R soon since he just installed his a few weeks back as well.

We will be offering this in a few different options, but still working on final pricing:

Option 1 - Calipers, BP-20 front pads, Adapters, and SS Lines

Option 2 - Calipers, front and rear pads, adapters, and SS lines

Option 3 - Calipers, front and rear rotors, front and rear pads, adapters, and SS lines

This kit is setup to work with the factory 13.9" rotor dimensions, so any aftermarket rotors will be feasible. We're testing with R1Concepts slotted rotors with their Ceramic pads in the rear, but still working on defining a rear pad that is spec'd well with the friction coefficient of the front pads. While I would recommend Ceramics for track use, I am having no issues so far on the street.

Any questions, feel free to ask. We are working a on pricing discount to do a group buy for the first order, so stay tuned for final pricing!

Yes sir, @aaron240 is now offering both the 4 piston and 6 piston kits, and he's working on a rear set as well now.

That’s true Lee. I have 6 piston stock 13.8" rotor, 6 piston gt500 15” rotor, and the 4 piston stock 13.8" rotor kits all available for sale. The 4 piston kit is the cheapest of the three so most prefer that configuration.

Roman I only sell the adapter brackets I designed and the mounting hardware for the Wilwood brake systems Ive spec'd out for the SHO, the wilwood components and 2013 gt500 rotors you would have to order separately. I believe the wilwood components were $1100 total, $190 for the pair of motorcraft 15" rotors, and $550 for my adapter brackets and hubcemtric rings kit. You gain approx 30% more surface area than the stock 13.8" front rotor to help dissipate the heat generated by braking and even with the larger front rotor this kit is still 5 lbs light per side than the stock front brakes on the 2013-2019 cars. I believe everything came in at $1850 total for the whole package. Still is $600+ cheaper than TCE Wilwood kit and my kit uses 6 piston calipers while there's is only 4.

Okay definitely keeping this on my tab when I get somemore money. I love the look of the 6 piston caliper the way it just fills the wheel area

Superlight 4 brake caliper adapter brackets came in and kits will be shipping out this Monday. There are still 4 kits available for those that are interested.
