Hi there,

Just finished work on the Wilwood Brake Upgrade kit for the 20VT.



Front brakes - 328mm rotor paired with Superlite 6 pot caliper. (or similar) Radial mounted
Rear brakes - 300mm rotor paired with Wilwood Dynalite 4 pot caliper. Lug mounted

well done mate

Looks very nice

Top work. What did you have to do to get them to fit?

We made all the brackets and disk hats as shown in the picture and I am running 18" wheels.

Looks good. How did you realize the handbrake? Thank you Juergen

Well done mate any prices for the kits

Willwood do a rear disc caliper with a cable hand brake option already so the bracket just needed fabricating I guess

I removed the hand brake completely and replaced it with a bag of cement and a piece of rope attached to the tow hitch No more hand brake freeze ups.

Jokes aside, did remove the handbrake and fitted a rear brake lock out solenoid valve with a brake pedal protection circuit to avoid accidental activation.

Is that legal? It would not be here. You need a mechanical emergency brake.

A lot of new cars have electronic handbrakes, I'm sure they will be on sale in Australia too.

I am based in South Africa and no problem here with electronic handbrakes.

Anything OE is fine. The point is to have an independent emergency brake should the service brakes fail.

Great work... Are you going to make them to sell?

anymore info on these I8AV8?????????????????????????/

Will post tomorrow. Where on holiday for the past week.

any update mate????????????????

Sorry about the delay in following up on this thread, but here are some pictures of the fully assembled kit.



In the third picture you can see that the wheel spacers are fitted to accommodate the 18" Dimag wheels.

Time for a group buy

Wow, they look very good. Excellent work! A group buy would be of interest to me …. price dependant of course

Have you done any calcs/testing? I don't like the look of the rear adapters, particularly the 'tabs' where they bolt to the arm. Needs a much better radius than the 90° you have IMHO.

The rear ones are fine, the cnc shop that made them for me have been making these for a while and they have had no issues.

But you did miss the bridge bolt sleeve that is missing on the 6 pot caliper, now that could be a problem

Not sure how I would have seen a missing bridge bolt sleeve on an assembled caliper? Or do you mean the missing pad pin?

Either way I'm not trying to have a go. I just feel it necessary to point out what I consider to be a poorly designed, safety critical part.

I think you are having a go, but you are welcome to your opinion.

Well I'm not. I've far better things to be doing unless I was genuinely concerned that you could seriously injure people.

Anyway, I've said my bit. Best of luck.

Looking good.

What material are they made out of?

Material - Aluminium 6061T6
