Wilwood brakes for 1992 camaro?

Anyone have Wilwood front brakes for a 1992 z28 or know where I can get this setup? I already have the rear wilwood rear brakes and want to match with wilwood front setup.

I called wilwood and they said they do not make a kit for our cars except the dynalite kit with the 10.75" rotor. My rear rotors are 12.19 or 12.75" which would make it look retarded and probably wont work right if I went with smaller front rotors.

Someone please help me out here, I would be greatly appreciated. I am looking for atleast 12" rotors and I see there are kits with 14" rotors.. I plan to run 18" wheels so fitment shouldn't be a problem.

Why not just upgrade to LS front brakes.

Re: Wilwood brakes for 1992 camaro?

Would I be able to use wilwood calipers? Is there a kit I can look at? I want to have the same look because the rear kit has black wilwood rotors so I would like to be able to use those. ANy suggestion for that?

Yup the Wilwoods will be awesome. Much better than one of the GM factory swaps. Ed Miller offers these. Here is the link:

I'll receive mine in a few weeks. Will let you know how they are.

I didn't like the heavy black rotors

Switched to two piece curved vane: mock-up pic

The question is what do you plan to do with the car. You have already heard a lot of suggestions, but who can make an informed suggestion without knowing your requirements? All we know now is that you want them on at least a 12" rotor and they must be wilwood Calipers.

How do you like your pedal feel?
More or less effort than stock?
More or less pedal travel than stock?

Street?
Auto-x?
Track days?
Road Racing?
Drag?

How much do you care about weight?

How much do you care about component life?

How much do you care about ease of pad changes?

How pretty do they have to be?

Which calipers are on the rear?
Part number for rear kit?
