Saul Had them on his mk3 with std wheels

 

[h17och]

i know the 288mms fit not sure on the 310mms

310s fit cupra R wheels

 

[andygolf]

ok thanks for that i have sent saul a pm so i will see what he says cheers for the quick reply.was goin to go for brembos but i am wanting to keep my standard wheels.

I got the 310mm 4 pots and i reckon they'd fit. Theres loads of room behind my 17" superlegs and i dont reckon theyre a great deal bulkier than standards. But dont take my word for it.

I could try standard wheels on my car when i get it back if you want.

 

[andygolf]

yea that would be great phil if you wouldnt mind.what is your opinion on them any good.what hp are your running.where did you get yours.the link that bill gave me are they the correct ones that i need.also did you have to purchaces any brackets etc to make tham fit cheers

[h17och]

try rallydesign

brakets included

wilwoods are good for heat but they arnt as responsive as brembos
dnt have dust seals either

 

[andygolf]

ok thanks but they are better than standards though yea.what is the dust seals for apart from the obvious.

 

[t18con.]

means they need rebuilt more often (too often???)

 

[andygolf]

how often is often.how much for a rebuild does it need to be a specialist company

 

[Ricardo_Smooth]

lots of the lads i know run wilwoods in the renualt scene and tbh them not having dust seals isnt a massive problem! lad i know has had them for nigh on 3 years and they arent in need of a rebuild yet due to no dust seals.

[andygolf]

cheers for that,
that will be very helpful

 

[andygolf]

phil the ones in the link is that the correct ones that i will need to get is it just pads and hoses extra

 

[turboboy]

its the 280mm kit but they do fit under standard wheels!the 310 will be fine

just jumping from the mk2 section for this thread. Was going to fit them to my mk2 valver but spoke to a friend who has them on a mk2 Golf and they sized around 18 months.. i believe they are track use proper brake "old skool" brakes and dont like the british winter and the grit/salt on the roads. i think they are mega cool but the safer option is to stick some brembo's in

 

[ibizacupra]

brembo's a far higher quality caliper.
I did'nt like my wilwoods (310) when I had them. Never got an even stopping to them, and pads always wore wedged shape (indicative of caliper flex)
Avoid Poly E or D pads Raldes will try and sell you. Shocking, pads.. squeal is nasty and pad have no cold bite relative to brembo OE or DS2500. They do have DS2500's if you ask for them. Thats what I ran in the end.
I think Sauls kits used a Dynalite caliper not the larger superlight-4 which is what I ran.

I run AP's these days, have done for several years now, also non-dust sealed, and fine still.

Muchos hard use on brembos like I did, will cook the dust seals anyway to charcoal, and turb calipers a dark burgenday colour. you can tell who actually uses their brakes from those that dont.

 

[cu51pra]

the 310 wont fit under standard wheels i know ive got the 310 wilwoods

 

[ibizacupra]
