Default Wilwood 13" brakes fitted

Finally got the brakes fitted yesterday.

Have to let them settle in, but braking power seems VERY good.

This is just a rough phone pic. I'll take better pics later.



A couple of hassles.

The Wilwood fittings are a little odd, so will take a little longer to get ADR compliant braided hoses made up (currently has the US hoses fitted).

The rotors are so big that we're getting a fouling problem against the ball joint at full lock. TCE Performance in Arizona are sending out a spacer shim to help sit the rotor a little further out which will (hopefully) solve the problem.

I should add, great service from the guys at HiTek Brakes in Moorabbin.

I'll take better pics later, and impressions once I've had a real chance to drive it
