GDI Wilwood Brake Kit

[Woodentop]

Anyone got this kit? I am after some advice to get some discs and pads that do not make any noise. The ones GDI fitted make a terrible racket and i have finally had enough.

What do you use the car for do you really need 4pots and I think you have said it all about GDI in you post try ring Andrew at Yozzasport on 07718 790098 tell him what you wont and see what he comes up with

andrew at yozzasport has got a good selection of pads and will recommend a pad setup that will do what you want with out all the silly nose of the mintex pads sold by gdi well from what you have posted i think that's what you have been supplied gdi seam to like mintex pads but they seam to make a lot of nose compered to other pads on the market

what brake do you have at the min

i has this problem and was was reccommend mitex bu rally sedign. they were worse than the willwood pads. after i got rid of my willwoods i was told about the ferodo pads. they work just as well and do not make noise. i havent tried them, but have been told by a couple of sources this is the way to go.

 

[Woodentop]

do you have part numbers or anything for these pads? where can i get them from?

 

[diamond geezer]

rally design, or im sure gdi, or yozzasport can get them. just tell them what willwoods you have, ie dynalites etc and they will sort them out.

Decent enough brakes but they look tatty in a relatively short period time and also the bracket set up means you lose about 1.5cm of the disk! Not the best design.

I'd have a look at the compbrake set up, providing you get the right pads and shortened lines or something bespoke from AP or brembo (Godspeed)

Good to hear! Dave's AP's are still best on the forum imo.
