Big brake conversion - finally complete

[secondchance]

Some of you may recall that I started Wilwood conversion in May 2013. I started with the rear to make sure that I can solve the parking brake issue with 4 piston calipers.



Having solved parking brake concern, I was ready to finish the fronts. However, 380 build, started by head gasket failure, shelved the front conversion for awhile.

Well, now that 380 mini-stroker project is complete, I revisted the front brake conversion yesterday. These are 14" two pieces rotors with Superlite 6 radial mount calipers.



And with the wheel in place.



Great big thanks to Jim Voter and Nelson.
Also, great big thanks to Phil for supplying Fikse 18 inchers that made this conversion possible.

It look great! How's the drive with those? firm pedal feel? lots of bite?

Thanks! I'm bedding the shoe/rotor. So, been taking it easy. Real improvement will be in resisting fade during repeated heavy use. Normal driving, difference won't be noticeable.

Looks good Yun. I enjoyed helping you complete a well thought out modification to your beautiful 1994 ZR-1.

The Wilwood Front Brake kit was a very straight forward installation with high quality parts.

Yun, nice job!
There's a freight train somewhere out
there missing its brakes!
Make sure your seatbelt's cinched
up when you stomp on that middle pedal...

Do the rotors affect stock offset?

Yun I have the same setup (6 Piston narrowlites) on the front of my ride now with 17inch Fikse FM5s. What are all the part numbers for the rear setup ? Thanks. GC

Rear set up is a kit put out by Revolution Brake. No part numbers since it's sold as a kit. I had to do some custom engineering in order to make it work. If you are serious about doing this after a discussion with the Revolution Brake, let me know. Kit, as it shows up, will not bolt up as was intended.

DAMN GC! What did you have to say that? With my FM5's I was finially convinced that 6 piston calipers were a pipe-dream!!! I assume you are using a spacer?

I don't think he is, the Narrow Superlites fit nice..
