Madlock Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 Anybody giving any thought to the new Shelby Wilwood brakes? With the new 6-piston Brembos on the '13s, it's one hell of a shame to go swapping-out the OE front brakes just to be brand-consistent on all 4 corners. But the Wilwoods are one hell of a lot less expensive than the Baer Extreme's. I DO like how Wilwood uses the same caliper body on front and rear for both the 6 and 4 piston brakes to keep them looking consistent. But with a price delta of only 100 bucks between them, I'd feel one hell of a lot better about upgrading to them if they just provided 6 pistons all around. Are these more or less the equivalents of the Shelby Plus in terms of stopping power an overall quality? Are they more on-par with the Baer Plus or Extreme sets?

svt13 Posted August 5, 2012 Report Share Posted August 5, 2012 If shelby has changed from Baer to Wilwood then there is a reason for it. You should probably just call them. Either it was a supplier problem or the Wilwoods are just better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madlock Posted August 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 I know Shelby looked to Wilwood due to supply constraints. I'm looking for advice based upon first-hand experience - not sales information. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svt13 Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Post this in the supersnake section. Those are most likely the people who would have done these upgrades. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT NAJA Posted August 6, 2012 Report Share Posted August 6, 2012 Another equally important question is, 'do the Wilwood's clear the 2013 SVTPP wheels'? If not, then costs escalate for the upgrade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
