Ok... my truck went over to Wilwood yesterday for some new brakes...

The guys over at Wilwood are extremely knowledgeable and very detail oriented... Big thanks to Tarrant who is cool as **** and had me laughing all day...
Truckin' came out to article the install... the pictures below were taken by them...

16" rotors - 6 piston caliper front setup - braided stainless lines

14.25" rotors - 4 piston caliper rear setup - braided stainless line

Wilwood must be 80K+ sq ft, the install took place in the R&D dept...




Front kit


Rear Kit
They now coat the entire rotors in a special black coating... when you burn in the rotors, the brake surface cleans off, and the rest stays behind to protect the metal

Spinning the wheel for a cool effect (wheels looks a little like Plexiglas wheels lol)

your truck is absolutely gorgeous. Which color is this?

 

that is a pretty sick pic of the truck!!! it's a custom one off color, Dave had that color mixed so i doubt it has a specific name... doesnt hurt to ask tho...

 

It's an absolutely gorgeous color. I love blue. I knew it wasn't the stock marine metallic or whatever it is.

 

Awesome. You are certainly doing it right.

Sorry if you already answered this elsewhere, but how much do your wheels weigh?

 

29lbs each - forged 2pc 22"s x 10's and thanks...

 

what kind of stops did they do to 'burn' the brakes in??

 

Let me know when you need new nittos I got dirt cheap hook up for nittos. specially after you put that lsx in I know tires arent gonna last you long!

 

8 medium stops from 30mph to 0mph... then about 6 stops from 60mph to 0mph... the last 3 of those were HARD stops... thats it.
