Ed, I'm still interested in Wilwood FSL based setup for 9 bolt.
Hey Ed,
About 6 months ago I ordered your Wilwood FSL front setup. At the time we discussed you coming up with a matching set for the rear. Do you still have interest in doing this? I have cash in hand.
I would be interested in running as big of rotors as possible that will still fit my 16" IROC wheels. My requirements would be:
- FSL or Dynalite calipers
- must have working e-brake (hopefully better than stock)
- must fit 16" IROC wheels
- must fit 9 bolt
- rotor must be available in DBA 4000 series (to match my fronts)
So what do you say? I realize the market is a bit limited for such a setup, but I'd be willing to throw some extra money your way to make this happen.
Thanks.

I hear ya. I just sent off the pattern for C5 rear conversion brackets for 9 bolts and I'll go off in other directions from there. Ideally I would like to use a C5 rear rotor and FSL caliper so this is the route I'll take at this time. I have a LOT of stuff going on.... thanks!

I would be interested in this as well. I have the 12" Wilwood FSL on the front and stock style 12" brakes on the rear but I would like matching calipers on the rear too, I also have a 9 bolt

I was just working on my stock rear iron brakes yesterday. And they reminded how terrible they are and what a pain they are to work on.

The proposed C5 rear setup uses the C5 e-brake. Do a search, there is a lot of info for the C5 swap for 10 bolts. Please keep this thread dedicated to a Wilwood swap.

I'm not sure how answering your question and telling you a place where you can get more information is considered being sensitive. If you don't appreciate me answering your questions let me know, then I won't do it in the future.
I just want to keep this discussion on topic. Is that to much to ask.

I got my stock 9 bolt brakes lookin pretty clean. They look so good I may not even be interested in the Wilwoods anymore.
Just kidding. Still waiting for rear wilwoods for the 9-bolt. Bump for Ed.

Ed,
Friendly reminder.
I see you are working on rear Brembos for the 9-bolt. They almost look similar enough to match my front Wilwoods. Almost. Any word on rear Wilwoods for the 9 bolt?

Re: Ed, I'm still interested in Wilwood FSL based setup for 9 bolt.
No problem, now that the rearend is inside I can get to it. I'm running a bit behind on kits, PMs, and e-mail as usual but I'll get to it since the rear is handy now. The brackets I had made for the 9 bolt and C5s need some tweaking at the moment, the Wilwood FSL will be easier.
Thanks for the patience.

Re: Ed, I'm still interested in Wilwood FSL based setup for 9 bolt.
I am just recieving my parts from Ed now. I ordered the 13" FSLs for the front and LS1s for the back. I wish Ed had offered FSLs for the rear when I ordered these. Just the same, these new brakse will be very nice.

If you have another source of big Wilwoods on a 9-bolt, please share.
