Wilwood Superlight 4 - SHO Front Brake Upgrade Install Pictures

[aaron240]

Finally got around to re-installing my wilwood superlight 4 front brake kit and wanted to share a few pictures. Really happy with the improved pedal feel and stopping ability, 25lb weight savings, price point for the whole setup being approx $1,000, and of course the looks!!

I still have Qty 7 adapter bracket kits left in stock if anyone wants a set before they are gone.

$400 for the brackets and $600 for the wilwood components. Brings the kit cost to approx. $1000 flat.

How is the stopping power compared to a 2015 non-PP car (MKS)?

It is a huge improvement, you get 2 more pistons per caliper, stainless braided lines, better pad compounds, and 25lbs lighter then your existing brake setup

How do they compare in performance and weight to the 6 piston Willwood?

The Wilwood kit comes with them. There is also the Goodridge kit but they never seem to be in stock.

I tried ordering the Goodridge kit from an online vendor. I was given a ship date. It was then delayed and supposed to ship directly from Goodridge. After over 8 weeks of continuous delays, I finally cancelled my order. Would still love to find them somewhere.

Love the Wilwoods.

Still hoping and wishing Aaron would build a set for the rears!

Yep that's the unfortunate. I've had about 4 different sets on order over the past two years. Continued delays, no firm commitment, and always end up cancelling. And even at that, I've heard 9/10 times the rear brake lines don't fit the SHO.

If you have a local Aeroquip dealer they can likely build you a custom set if you take them your factory lines.

I would love to but there just physically is not space for wilwood's style of caliper and you lose the e-brake function, which is a safety concern. I may dive into it again at some point but I constantly push customers to go with the best bang for their buck setup like what a customer did hear with powder coating the rears to match the front!

For the rear calipers I had them powder coating to match the fronts
