Hi people,
I am considering a front brake kit upgrade and Wilwood has always been an option I wanted to explore so I obtained a quote from VPW Australia here in Epping VIC - vpw.com.au , after being redirected by Wilwood.com.
My reasons for considering the 4 pot Wilwood Dynalite Big Brake Front Hat Kit: it comes with bigger rotors over OEM with 2 choice of rotors, HP(track whores will go this)or crossdrilled slotted SRP rotors, PolyMatrix pads that goes with it and all brackets & hardware bits, GT Series Rotor mounting hats, 4 pot calipers with red/black/polished choices, plus brake hose kit(dunno if this includes rear), quite an upgrade you would feel - My car is mainly a daily driver with the max 2 track days a year - why would I want an overkill (apart from added bling factor ) Alcon, AP Racing, Brembo, Jap Brand X brakes over $2/3K for 99% street, 1% track or country spirited drives.... although I must say I do drive the car hard most times... so wife don't feel safe and greenlights safety and handling upgrades....hehehehe
Those who want pics/catalogue/tech details - please go www.wilwood.com and you can download full or smaller size catalogues.
The short jizz of it is that I came back with a quote for a set for DC5R for:
Brake kit A$1090.00 - Choice of Red calipers, HP rotors
Hose kit is A$139.00
Total : A$1229/-
I am now in the process of asking them what kind of deal members may get with a groupbuy from ClubITR.com.au, concurrently asking for DC2R bros out there for a similar application. Let's see what their quote is and how much interest we can gather here thereafter. . Also trying to gather if any info available for rims clearance requirements...
I dunno about you guys, unless someone can share what you know of any downside to this reasonable option for a tight-ass enthusiast like me, given my intended use... I reckon this is an option many don't consider...but deserving of mention.
I am avoiding to organise and coordinate a groupbuy as I am pretty busy at this time of the year until Oct, best option is a group-buy organised with peeps liasing with VPW directly for payment/deliveries, while a list of names/nick/license number can be used to track for vendor who are in at quoted price.
I will keep all posted when more info is available, in the end I may not get it right away as coilovers is still a priority for me or someone else may take over from then to proceed with a groupbuy if there's interest. Thought I pass on the info in case some members here might benefit from it.... - btw pls be patient as I can't be on the forum except lunch times or at night, so turn around time will be slower than before.
