vs
Brake pads OEM Nissan or WILWOOD
Reviews
i have an 80zx with an sbc swap, i’ve rebuilt all 4 brakes, replaced a master, swapped coiled did bushings replaced u joints
Pros: aftermarket solutions
Here's mine. MMP adapter brackets, stock 11" rotors, BP20 pads. Work very well.
Pros: work very well
I've got them on my SLC as well. They are amazing. I have stainless hoses and drilled/slotted rotors all around. Went from stock brakes with mintex red box pads, to Girling 60's with hawk hps pads, and put Wilwoods on it last year and the wilwood's just blow the others out of the water. AND they fit under the stock wheels.
Pros: amazing, fit stock wheels
I got my brakes yesterday, they are freakin awesome, finish looks really good. i am going to put them on this weekend
Pros: awesome finish, looks good
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I do like the wilwoods on my car, stops good, lots of choice in brake pads.
Pros: stops good, pad choice
i had them on my mk3 jetta and there was a huge stopping difference without locking them up. a very good investment , initially they came with hawk pads they were too noisy and i switched to ebc pads and i loved the brakes quiet and stopping distance was probably reduced by 1/3
Pros: huge stopping difference, good investment
Cons: hawk pads too noisy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I don't know much about Stop-Tech, however, I have heard from a friend that used Wilwood that these perform best in non-Winter driving conditions. He said that over time they will not stand up as well as a Brembo set up. It might be worth noting what climate (Alaska vs California) that you spend most of your driving time in as well when factoring a BBK upgrade. I also noticed that you are quite new to this group so allow me to introduce you to the member who will derail all original posts into something else to the point where your thread may get locked up. See below. GoGo Golf R said: Ok let's try to agree on the following: 1) Upgrading the brakes is mostly justified for track driving purposes No, Personal preference. 2) Changing the brake pads will reduce dust for street driving Depends on your pad choice 3) Changing the brake pads, rotors and brake lines is pricy Subjective 4) The OEM brakes, while not totally ideal for every driving style, will suffice for average street drivers and some track drivers Depends on your driving style 5) Downshifting with correct rev-matching, will extend the duration and reduce wear on the brakes Yes because replacing your clutch is much cheaper than new pads :screwy:
Pros: perform best in non-winter
Cons: don't stand up as well over time
the Wilwoods are quite light. they don't have much pad contact area though. the big advantage with the Stoptechs would be the cooling and contact area.
Pros: cooling and contact area
Cons: little pad contact area
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
The stock breaks on these cars were only just good enough when new, after years of wear and tear the breaks are awful. One slightly aggressive stop and that's it your breaks are done for the rest of the day.
Cons: breaks are awful
Vehicle:
Nissan
Wilwoods suck.
Cons: suck
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
