Wanted suggestions how to create low drag Wilwood brakes
Guys,
I'm looking for suggestions on how to create low drag brakes. I have Wilwood 4 piston caliper brakes front & rear on my Gen 3 GT/DA 92 Camaro. Is there a kit one can buy? The TDM brakes are out of the question. Thanks for looking, |

I shim the caliber with spacer to make sure they are centered
on the disc properly (usually they are not). They still have more drag than the more expensive brands that my son runs on his cars! |

As well as making sure the caliper is center I have small stiff springs I put between the pads so the cotter pin holds the springs in place.

there's good reason why you won't find wilwood brakes installed on any car built for drag racing by a professional chassis shop

Doesn’t Wilwood offer a low drag “ o” ring to replace the square cut seals in the calipers?

Making sure the calipers are centered is a no brainer , but switching to drilled rotors was the best thing I did. No more drag. This and the right pads.
Mine are Wilwood. |
