bnoslo Posted February 16, 2013 Report Share Posted February 16, 2013 I know the Wilwood big brake kits are new to shelby, but is there any possibilty to get them in more than just the 3 color options listed already? I am asking because i would like a set in the yellow like the Baer kits have. Would like any info, even if they are available to be custom ordered too.

Jer Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I can look into it, but I seem to remember getting shot down on that in the past. I have some yellow Baer kits in stock, BTW! Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnoslo Posted February 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Thanks Jer, that's good to know about the Bears in stock, but the main reason i was asking was the price point. I have a shelby gt, like you except black, and don't have endless pockets, so when i saw the new Wilwood kits were so much more affordable i figured i would ask about any other color options.

EL SHELBY Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 +1, I would love to see the Wilwoods in more colors. The Wilwoods are one of the many items I'm saving my penny's for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jer, Can you please post pics and pricing info on the F&R yellow Baer kits. Thanks! If you never plan on tracking the car Baer drilled and slotted rotors will work fine. Two track days at the 2011 bash minor rotor damage, two track days Pomona 2012 front rotors toast badly warped. Tried to replace with slotted only. Bare will only ship MIN. 3 sets of slotted replacement rotors. 700.00 to replace rotors with drilled and slotted, the pads had almost no wear quick sanding and they are fine. Now that I have a 13; the 07 will not see the track again it will be fine for the street running the Baer system. The 13 is going to get Wilwoods Slotted only when the time comes.

Jer Posted February 20, 2013 Report Share Posted February 20, 2013 Here's the info: http://www.shelbystore.com/Shelby-Extreme-Brakes-p/4261112.htm There will be a price adjustment/sale soon on certain colors only (Yellow WILL be one of them).

Elgin Black Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Will these fit the 18" Razors with 24MM offset? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnoslo Posted February 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Thanks for the heads up Jer, any price adjustment or sale on the Baer kits is very welcome news. Sly, the ONLY razors the Baer kits will fit are the 20" wheels with the +24 offset, believe me, i checked out all the others myself just in case. Even the new 20' razors on the american muscle that have the +30 offset won't fit any big brake kits. They changed the spoke design so there's no clearance for any larger caliper, and no clearance if the caliper is moved like if you were to get a front eradispeed kit that uses the stock caliper. Pretty stupid if you ask me. There's another post on this issue by another member here, but i can't remember where or by who. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jer Posted February 21, 2013 Report Share Posted February 21, 2013 Shelby has only EVER used +24MM offset Razors for just that reason. From CS8 to Terlingua, Mod Shop Shelby GT cars... all +24MM. Jer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnoslo Posted February 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2013 Jer, i forgot to ask before, but can you give any other details on what will be offered for discount/sale? Such as if it will be the extreme brakes or pro+ 6 piston, just the front, or both front and rear, etc.... Anything you can tease us all with.

Jer Wow, $7500 for a set of brakes. I'm *really* glad I bought mine when I did (both at sale prices). I paid about half of that, if I remember correctly. Hmm, okay, just over half. WOW. I should probably mount them rather than let them sit in the corner looking pretty! <lol> Or sell/trade them for a set of Wilwoods. Phill (just THINKING out loud!)

Our retail store and online parts business are two completely different software solutions, warehouses, etc. Wish I could just open the warehouse door for everyone and get a cashier with a shotgun and a cigar box - THAT would be easy!

Jer No, I understand. The issue of Sales Tax also comes up with direct point of sales. Mail order doesn't require sales tax (outside of NV) but ALL counter sales would. Oh, wait a second...Nevada doesn't have sales tax, does it? Hmm. Never thought about that before. Phill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnoslo Posted February 23, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2013 Ok, getting back to the original topic of more available colors for the Wilwood brakes, who besides me and EL SHELBY would like more colors, and what would you like to see? This way Jer can get and idea of who may want what, and maybe something may end up happening. Hey, it worked for the Alcoas!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnoslo Posted February 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2013 Well, i see the total still stands at a big 2!!! C'mon everybody, who would like to see more colors? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnoslo Posted March 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Ok, one last bump on this one after the madness from the latest Alcoa sale. Is there anybody else out here that would like to see a larger choice of caliper colors for the Wilwood brake kits? If so, tell us all what you'd like to see. Hope this actually gets some responses again! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrewnagle1964 Posted March 7, 2013 Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 A guy named Joe Roberts aka SherrodMustang on the S197 forum had his Wilwood calipers powder coated and they came out looking great Link to calipers Look at post #1536 Specialty Coatings did them for him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bnoslo Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Jer, i was curious if you could tell us the performance difference between the Wilwoods and the Baer extremes? I don't know anyone that can give me a first hand comparison, so i thought you might be able to explain it, that is if you have driven a car with the Wilwoods, i know your SC has the Baers.

Better question to ask is the performance difference between the willwoods and the 13 OEM brakes that no one appears to be able to speak educately on.
