Wilwood 6 piston brakes
Wilwood 6 piston brakes
I was looking around Jegs today and found the Wilwood 6-piston F-body kit for '93-'97.
I was wondering if this setup might work in a '91 Camaro with 17x9.5 inch firehawks from SLP(aka Ronal R15s).

If they did fit I imagine I would have to get a power booster of some sort.
Any help would be appreciated!

To fit em you'd have to remake your own bracket, and turn a set of stock rotors down to just hubs.
You'd be better off buying some wilwood calipers, a pair of 12" 1LE rotors, and making some brackets.

There's just no cheap way of getting half *** brakes for are cars...
I'm finding it's cheaper to make the car lighter, and beefing up the exsisting brakes

The 6 piston 13.5" is $3800
He was looking at 6 pistons and 13" for 1300 bux, didnt seem too bad to me.
Thanks guys,
From what I've seen $1300 for those brakes is a good buy...sucks they won't work on my setup. Maybe I should fork out some bread and get a kicken set of Baer's(But $4000 for 13.5"!!!, my ***!!).
The reason for these monster brakes is that I am in the final stages of having a 454 installed in my '91 Camaro and I want to be able to stop that thing on a dime if the need arises.(there are a lot of deer in Wisconsin)
The search continues....

although i would not put the PBR caliper in the same league as the wilwood stuff. i saw a 4 piston superlite, with 12.75" C5 rotors this weekend, and man, that is some impressive hardware!

Ahhhh.... That is a 4th gen kit. Naa-gonna work on a 3rd gen.... ever.
With a little elbow grease and some grinding/cutting you can get C5 or LS1 or C4 brakes for a pretty decent price. Otherwise the 1le or Baer kits are all there is.....
........ for now

Rumor I got from a tech a wilwood was they were PLANNING to release a 6 piston kit for the thirdgen...HE claimed they were working on it and that it was about 8 months off???
That was 6 months ago....So Who knows if it will happen or not..
