16 inch Wilwood brakes install

weekendwarriorfsw32 · Feb 2, 2016

Just got one of the first 100% Wilwood brakes kits from them. I'll put some pics up as I go but all I can say so far is everything is HUGE!!! Very excited to put this kit on. I will be doing some before and after stopping results from 60-0 with the current stock brakes I have on it now and after with the new brakes. :thumbup:

I only have the fronts right now but Wilwood said by end of month I should have rear.

When I put the 16" front kit with 8 piston calipers and 15" rear with 4 piston on my little RCSB Ram 1/2 ton I thought I was gonna fly through the windshield. It stopped ridiculously quick. I imagine you'll have a similar experience.

Awesome kit, been waiting for a kit to come direct from them. Ill have to check out dealer pricing on these. Anyone else interested let me know!

Very awesome! Sub'd for results

Interested.

I am getting ready to swap an 06 suspension under my Ex this summer.

Did some before numbers with the stock brakes.
Truck weighted 8,600 with the 2 of us in it and a full tank of fuel, all tires were at 40psi and it was 44* out side. I did 3 60-0 runs in a row on a long flat stretch of road.

1. Was 173 Ft
2. Was 158 Ft
3. Was 165 Ft

So the average was 165.3 ft so I will be shooting to beat that when I slap on these bad boys.

Can these be used on a dually? I'd definitely be interested in improving my stopping power. . .

Well at a stand still right now. Apparently even tho wildwood says it will clear 20's it doesn't. I have had 3 sets of 20's so far and none will clear the caliper even after machining the brackets it still won't clear. Pretty bummed and even after a call the useless people that man the phones at wildwood no direction to go.

ouch, that's frustrating right there

not an inexpensive fix!

Time to go big money with double dueces

looking up parts

Everyone else's 16" kit requires a 22" wheel....I wonder why they think theirs is different?
Those big fixed calipers take up some real estate too.
I ran into a similar issue with 4 piston SSBC calipers clearing SRT10 wheels...they said they did but I proved they didn't and then they wouldn't do a refund because I mounted them. I was a little pissed to say the least.
