spanner Posted May 14, 2008 Share Posted May 14, 2008 I put willwoods on the RWD mk5 shown in another thread and i am getting rid of them because i cannot get a decent pedal and under heavy braking on stages they are very bad.I have since been told there is a problem with Wilwood brake calipers "flexing", i am getting rid and putting 6 pot Alcon or AP. as i don't llike the feel of the pedal just my 2 cents worth, If anybody wants the Wilwood calipers with Nearly New Mintex pads and Very good Ferodo pads (+20mm of pad) i wll take 200 quid +postage for them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
