Default Wilwood Brake question

Does anyone know or have contact info for any reputable Wilwood Brake vendor? My car currently has a very old set of Wilwoods but I have some questions about updating them. Thanks in advance.

Jay,

must be the fronts.. I know your dad and I swapped the rears to give you a parking brake.

The fronts are from Rippie if I recall, If you are looking to change to make 'life' easier, then I would swap to the Narrow Super Lites.. that is what I have on the front of my car.

Hey there Jeff! You are exactly right. Rippie originally did all the brakes sometime in the '90's and the Wilwood rear calpers did fit under the 94-95 A-mold 5-star wheels. The rear calipers didn't fit under the Rear Dymags though. I am just ready to redo all 4 corners with a new Wilwood setup. I've read the Narrow Super Lites are probably the ones to get. I did reach out to Wilwood with the link above, just to make sure and possibly get some part numbers from them, but haven't heard anything back yet.

ps... my Dad told me to tell you hello!

Jay

Below are links to Wilwood kit for 1990 to 1995 Corvettes with 13" front rotor option. I recommend further discussion with Wilwood especially if you are contemplating non-OEM wheels.
