Wilwood or Hi-spec?
After trawling through search results from 'wilwood' and 'brakes' on this forum I have found it seems to be general concensus
that for uprated brakes wilwood and hi-spec are the best options. (I want light, ally ones, not austin princess or anything else old, cack and
heavy)
Wilwoods appear to need brackets making to fit the calipers, whereas hi-spec can supply a kit.
I want to uprate brakes to minimise unsprung weight and allow fitment of 13" rims (again to reduce unsprung weight on an MK Indy) utilising my
sierra hubs. I know the arguements for overbraking/not necessary etc.
Links to Wilwood here available from Rally Design with good spec sheets

I bought Wilwood dynalites cos they've been well used and well liked by other BEC users.

I take it that the prices on the Willwood site are per single caliper and not a pair.
Which Dynalite (billet or II) willwood have people used.

Viper, Bikkel,
I'd ruled out ap, brembo and other racing makes as they're so damned expensive, I'm after a 'locost' route!
Thanks for the input so far guys. Has anyone used hi-spec?
For 'Other' can you supply make/model/price/supplier?
thanks.
Ned.
