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. Last edited by secondchance; 01-18-2015 at 09:05 AM. |

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. Jim |

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?

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.
