    Wilwood users...

    does anyone experience caliper flex under pressure of it (braking) ? While we were blidding the brake lines with out the wheels mounted in the front I did notice the caliper will flex "quite alot" but from the outder side of it basically, this kinda scare me a bit.

    While I was talking to a fried who has a heavily Impreza GT modded, he run full Wilwood (front and rears) BBK with 6 piston in front and 4 piston on the rear he was like "uh..dunno, let's check mine) and so did the same as mine, the 6 piston caliper did flex some just as my Superlites 4 piston calipers and he was kinda shocked with that.

    Oh, if you are reading this Lee, the noise I talked to you about, are defentetly from the pistons itself, while making the oise (with out the wheel mounted) I added some brake fluid to the pistons and the noise went away right there. So it wasn't the pad compound.

    PS: Did my friend send you the money for the Q pads?

      I'm running Massive Lee's Racing Kit in the front and have experienced what sounds like a wheel bearing noise during DS events (accompanied by the smell of brake pads). My wheel bearings are new and the noise does not present itself during normal driving. Is this caused by caliper flex?
