    Rx7 or Wilwood

    Whats a better option for the e30, I know both use the same disc, the Rx7 kit is cheaper but I think Wilwood pads have better price plus Wilwood calipers weight less?

    Can you guys help me decide.

    Thanks

    depends how much cash you have, if you have the cash go with the Massive kit, much better wheel clearance.

      Well the Wilwood kit would be around $800 and the Rx7 around $500 in my estimates. Im trying not to spend a lot but I really like Wilwood because it weight less.

      The disck I will be using is the cross drill 280x22 from corrado.

      Also both of this calipers are supposed to fit Tr Motorsports wheels 15x8, right?

        500 for the rx7 kit? You can get rebuit calipers from Napa or wherever for like 50 dollars. The brackets with discs will run you around 200 and then whatever pads you want, no where near 500.

          Maybe but I live in Puerto Rico and the shipping prices is higher for everything especially if its heavy.

            Last i checked flat rate shipping boxes from the post office are the same rate to puerto rico. Monkey madness is selling a complete new rx7 kit for $260.

              Flat rate boxes are the same prices to us territories but shippers usually do whatever they can to ask for more money.

                      Consider the UUC BBK, talk to Guten Parts for pricing. I love mine!

                          I actually bought a set from UUC. After 6 months of them giving me excuses I cancelled my order and got a refund. I'm going to give the IE 6 piston kit a shot.

                            pedal feel is pretty much the same, stopping power is much better. Been running my RX kit for two seasons now and love it, huge improvement over the crappy stock brakes.
