Who's using Wilwood Superlite Calipers!

[twicks69]

To everyone that is using the 4-piston Wilwood Billet Superlite, Superlite II or III calipers with 0.81" thick rotors:

I came along this auction that is a steal -- 22 sets of new/slightly used/used Wilwood pads currently at $15 -- I hate adding e-bay auctions to threads, but here it is:
eBay Motors: Sprint Car Parts 22 Sets of Wilwood/JFZ brake pads LOOK (item 120209015973 end time Jan-17-08 19:09:48 PST)

They are all different compounds, and were originally used by a sprint car racer. Each pad would state the compound on them -0- usually found as the letter at the end of the part number on each pad (facing the caliper piston).

I have upgraded to Forged Superlite calipers, which have a different pad backing design (different style of pad locking bolts).

These will work with 0.81" thick rotors, and are commonly used with the Billet Superlite Caliper from Todd at TCE Performance with his brake kits.

I hope that someone on here will put them to good use at the track. Otherwise, I will pick them up and redrill them for my car.

They were @ $17.49 when I looked. If you get them, I may be able to use some of them, after someone machines off the loop on top. I may know someone who can do that.

I couldn't read any compound marks in the pic's. Dirt track compounds may be a bit low temp for road course use.

Well, I have a set of A-compounds that you can machine up and use -- I picked them up in an earlier auction. They need a fresh surface and the loop drilled off, but there is at least .6" still on the pads.

talk to you soon Jim!
