Re: Stillen Big Brakes: 14.25"

Good input khsonic03. The Q pad is really a good pad with low dust, low noise, good cold 'bite' and decent heat management.

Just a point of clarficiation, the 'Wilwood' brakes we are discussing are actually designed by my company - RMS Horsepower. The only Wilwood component on my kit is the caliper. So you can't buy this specific kit from Wilwood...In regards to the rear kit, our design is nearly complete. The rotor and rotor hat with integrated parking brake is complete. I am waiting on Wilwood to release a particular caliper with a different piston bore size. Once they do, then I'll be able to complete the kit. FYI, I have already designed a rear kit for the 300ZX, and this design is similar (different rotor size), so I know the kit works well.

Thats good to hear that you got the ball rolling on the rear kit. If it were up to Wilwood themselves, it would probably take alot longer. I have the "Q"s on my Cobra, and they are great: good stopping, no noise, good cold friction, low brake dust. I orginally had the "E"s on it, and I loved the stopping power when they heated up, but man, every time a girl got in my 550HP hot rod that should be tight as a whistle, they asked "Why does it make that squealing noise when you stop?" So, if your luxury car that is supposed to be quiet and fast is squealing, they might ask the same question. But damn, do the "E"s work well.

Russell I WANT THE REAR ONES! sometime!!

Yes the brake dust is severly LESS! I don't really have to clean them as much as i had to before! AT ALL actually! hehehe.

THey are all black unfortunately!! Oh well, i'll live! THe rotors make the tire and wheels look nice!!

Good for track. And braking distance is alot shorter! Hope this helps! PM me or reply on my post if you want anymore input. Tell Russell that i sent you, he might give you a better price! not sure! ask em.
