How wide are the discs coz the wilwood website says the caliper will take a max 20.6mm disc?

Does the caliper have a spacer through the middle?

I would like to have a look, I'm in Bundoora so could drop in when it suits you.

R&t: I couldn't find any willwood branding on the rotors

Gze: the rotors are 310mm in diameter. I think you would maybe just fit16's but I'd reccomend 17s to be safe

Btw these are way lighter than stock brakes. Removed them from the car yesterday.

Do you know the smallest wheel that will fit over them?

Hey all,
The day has come. I'm going to get rid of the big brakes for the front.
you get:
1. 2x Wilwood Dynalite FR-120-6501-SI calipers (note the bottom outside bleeder valves have been replaced by a blockoff valve- not shown in pics) (include rubber brake lines to suit the SW20 - bolt on compatibility)
2. Worn/contaminated pads to suit. (you can elect to have these thrown out if you want).
3. Dogbone adaptors to suit sw20.
4. Hatted rotors (Note they are warped from what I can tell)

The Good: They look AWESOME (shown below under 17" enkei RP01 rims.)
They are hatted rotors with cross drilled and slotted disks
Very light calipers
Stops the car very well.

The bad:
Calipers need a rebuild - they leak brake fluid through what appears to be the piston area on the left, not sure about the right. Seal kits aren't expensive $11.50 USD from memory. Note that the cylinders may also need replacing in the calipers, as wilwoods don't have dust boots.

Pads are stuffed - contaminated with brake fluid, and worn. they need to be thrown out or use the backing plates for new pads
Rotors are most likely very warped.

I get significant vibrations through the steering wheel when applying the brakes. I haven't investigated if the rotors could in fact be machined flat, but I'm factoring in that you will probably need new braking surfaces at a minimum. I don't have a calliper to measure thickness, but will see if I can suss it out when I remove the brakes on the weekend.

The Why (I'm selling):
1. While they are excellent brakes, they are wasted on my car. I've tracked the car once so far.
2. Currently on the car I'm running 215s on the front and 275s on the rear, and with the increased bias to the front it's much easier to lock the front wheels up.
3. The time / effort to troubleshoot them is greater than I'm willing to spend on these brakes. ( I have also though of just getting new Wilwood superlight callipers instead of rebuilding the dynalites... but the cost is decent.)
4. The cost. Best case you'll be up for: calliper rebuild (might be just seals) + new pads + machine the disks. Worst case calliper seals+pistons + new pads + new rotors.

As you can tell I'm trying to be really fair by listing down what I see as the issues with these brakes. $300 ono I'm in Lower Plenty Vic happy to post, but you're covering that cost.

Kindest Regards,
Haydon
