not impressed with wilwood brakes compared ls1 rears
i installed LS1 brakes with a 1LE proportioning valve on my 10 bolt, i have LS1 brakes in the front also, and the car stopped excellent!, i blew the 10 bolt and bought a moser 12 bolt with wilwood brakes on the back, dynalite pro kit i believe 4 pistons each, i removed the spring and valve from the proportioning valve and installed a wilwood adjustable after the prop valve and i'm not impressed with the braking as the LS1 brakes, anyone else have any comments on the rear wilwood setups? also i was looking at rotor prices and they cost 209 a piece!?! i have the internal drum parking brake, drilled/slotted, maybe i need further adjustment on the adjustable prop valve?
