Wilwood 4 Pot Kits for Valvers/Williams

I've been considering getting some Wilwood 4-Pots for while now.....just wondering what peoples views are who have already bought a kit and installed it, and also....would it be ok just to buy the Wilwood calipers and use standard discs? I'm sure there must be a few people who have done this? Also....wheres the best place to buy the kit? Any help would be much appreciated;)Matt

AFAIK we're the only ones that have the kit available

standard discs are fine as long as they're good quality

i'll price it up for you this afternoon

ive got some on the 172 mate...

although some people said they weren't needed they are still way better than standard.

im running galfer discs - so not exactly standard.

depends what u want it for.

when i was at donnington, standard brakes barely worked after 5 laps.

willwoods would not fade the whole day!

if ur pottering about, driving to work, and the shops then u dont need em! if ur on track a lot then a defo upgrade.

the TB clio needs some really.

cheers for feedback guys....i mainly use the car for day to day driving but plan on doing some track days. The K-Tec Big Brake kit that I have at the moment is ok, but no real improvement over a standard set-up. The brakes just don't seem as good as they used to be....think they need bleeding. I want to have the extra piece of mind with 4-pots anyway, so I can stop even quiker.:approve:

I had the Willwoods its not difficult to make up a set only need the brakcet making the rest is almost off the shelf.
Stunning brakes though I'd get them with dust seal though.

Had problems with the non dust seal type then? Pistons?

Think that was why I was going to get Midilite rather than Dynalite for that reason but need to find someone who can sort brackets out.

Heard the hub needs some work to fit the calipers to normal sized disks, something that is eliviated when using 172 disks like some use. Although this may restrict wheel size...

Using 172/182 280mm disk will mean you cannot go smaller than 15's but that no huge issue stock are 15's.

No need to mody the hubs using the none dust sealed caliper (I think mine were the Dynamlight forged ones) brakets are easy to do just measure them up and take the drawing to an engineering place.

I never had trouble with non dust sealed however the new oner seaid that it failed the mot as they were leaking so had to chnage the seals (only cost £9 but the car hadn't been used much and it was only 1 year old ad there a pain to try and change).

everything apart from the calipers is in stock, Wilwood are a pain to get hold of as the UK distributor only seems to keep small volume and we normlly have to wait upto 3 weeks for them to come from USbloodyA

Dave i'll need to measure your hubs first

They won't work the lines are longer plus connection are probably different.

correct, connection is different to calipers plus the Goodridge lines for williams wide track are too short IMO, but we can subtract the cost of rear lines no problem
