Brake upgrade question

dlampe · #1 (**permalink**) 03-25-2005, 05:45 AM

My new Hurricaine comes with GM metric calipers and 11 inch rotors. Has anyone done the upgrade to wilwood? How much difference did you feel and was it worth the money? I do race these cars and I have already spent a lot of money on porterfield race compound pads for the GM stuff that seem to work pretty good but now is the time to do the upgrade so I can get a credit for my other calipers.

I did a Wilwood upgrade on the fronts. I have 11" Grenada vented rotors and had Chevy S-10 Calipers. There is a noticable difference. I also run the Porterfield R4S pads, front and back.

I am currently building a EM. I decided not to go with the standard brakes and go straight for the Wilwood brakes.
13in. in front 11 3/4 rear w/ 4 piston all around.
