CSX 9131 - Brake update
 
Now Shelby Daytona Coupe 9131 is on the road.
After many miles on road and track i ' m unhappy with the brake.
I change the brake pad to yellow one. But this is not 100 %.
The Shelby brake is from the Corvette C5.

Did anyone have chaned or modified the brake?

I found an upgrade from Willwood.
Will it fit on the Coupe?

What is the rim size on both cars? Hard to fit huge brakes inside 15" wheels but we can get pretty big ones in there. I am having good results from changing to the softest pad compound I can get for street cars.

There are 18" wheels on it.
I think that the Wilwood brake will be fit.

Let's shedule a time to talk by phone -lots to review before one starts replacing parts - we have performed a brake upgrade to several Gen 1 coupes , the CSX car has different wheels entirely - send me an email and we can shedule some time -

If you look there should be a thread on my coupe with pics -

But again , there are many things to check - like is the booster getting vacuum ? This accounts for over 50% the brake issues we see.
