i am currently looking to piece together a Wilwood rear brake kit to match my forged superlite front brakes. The only real "bolt on" option that i can seem to find from wilwood for our cars is the combination style parking brake caliper kit. the issue that i am having with this is that once again, i am piecing the kit together, and the recommended rotor size to match these caliper is 12.88". the 12.88 size damn near seems to be a wilwood specific rotor size, and these rotors from wilwood are more than $200 EACH! seems a little bit crazy to me!!
i called Wilwood this afternoon and the rep told me that he knows of no other vendors that sell 12.88" rotors and that Wilwood DOES NOT sell a bracket kit to adapt this specific caliper to fit 13" rotors.. so im left with a few questions..
-has anybody here used these specific calipers with rotors other than Wilwood?
-has anybody tried making their own brackets for this specific set up?
i work in an automotive machine shop and we have a CNC plasma cutter along with any material or other tools that may be necesary to complete the job, but i feel as tho i need some guidance first before i take on such a project...
and also if anybody else has a different set of wilwood calipers adapted to the rear of their car, im definitely open to options. i am trying to keep it Wilwood specific tho if at all possible, thanks
