Wobz

[slater]

So with recent events, I have started my research on replacing my brake calipers with something that works.
I am highly interested in obtaining Wilwood Superlite calipers for use on Wobz. I have some concerns about their streetability, however, as all of the people that I read about who have them run them currently on race cars. I just sent an email to Wilwood, which is as follows:

BP, i had a set of wilwood dynalites on a superb 1992 vw corrado VR6 about 10 years ago. the car was street driven primarily and between me and the previous owner, had seen about 30K miles of street use without a rebuild (these also had no dust boots). they performed very well and were an astounding 5lbs per caliper! (my previous porsche 996 calipers on my S6 were 8lbs each, and that's light!)

is there an off-the-shelf mounting bracket available for them?

I'm not sure about the Dynalites having an off-the-shelf bracket. www.massivebrakes.com sells E46 kits for the Superlites, as well as the SL4/SL6R's, so I would think they'd have brackets.

As far as the Corrado goes... despite not having dust boots, they didn't rust at all? Did you ever drive it in the winter?

Doing this in Charrie's garage!

I ran a set of wikwood superlight 4 piston calipers before on my previous car. Used them with wilwood bp10 pads. Loved that set-up.

Calipers did not have dustboots but did not have any issues during the winter.

Is he doing the Dinan Stage III tune after?

Thanks for the info! Wilwood still hasn't responded to my email I sent them, so I get the feeling they never will. What car did you run each setup on, and for how long (years)?

Nope. This is the only Dinan product I have on my car.

I'm thinking of going with a custom tune instead, dyno runs and everything. Haven't decided yet, but I do want it to be tailored to this particular car instead of being a generic tune.


Thank you Charlie for lending the space and assistance when my back was acting up.

So what is the cost of the rebuilding the performance calipers with the upgraded parts?

Is there a Porsche brake option for the 330?

Yes. With special brackets of course.
