HB280ZT Posted January 1, 2008 Share Posted January 1, 2008 Hi All, I was just looking through the Wilwood catalog and I came across these: http://www.wilwood.com/BrakeKits/Pages/12/index.asp and I was wondering if anyone has tried to see if one of these could be modified to work on our cars? If I had a rear strut housing laying around I could pull off the measurements I would however I do not and do not want to take my car apart at this time, have to drive it to work tomorrow morning. So if anyone has a rear strut assembly laying around could you please provide some measurements to get the ball rolling? 1 - distance from wheel mounting surface to where the backing plate mounts to the strut, without drum installed 2 - distance between mounting holes on the strut assembly, where the backing plate mounts 3 - diameter of the tube housing where the outside bearing is installed I think that should do it. What I am really looking for is a better brake setup for the rear that has parking brakes that do not use the regular brake pads. Also this would give us 12.2" rotors and 4 piston calipers if we can make it work. Also I see that they can provide us with blank rotors. That way we can set it up for our cars, that is if we can find an offset that will work. So what do you all think, is this doable? Thanks for the help.

Mikelly Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Harry, That rear parking brake is junk. You might want to look at my thread on the Mustang Setup... The OEM rear caliper comes with an ebrake that works on the Zcar and the brakes for this setup are HUGE!!! Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
