Wilwood rotors and top hats??
 

The sport rotors and brakes have been out for a while. Anyone call up wilwood and see what they say will work for our calipers? They have a ton of top hats so I'm sure one will be a replacement fit for the heavy stockers.

Here is their big brake kit so I know the top hat will fit the car, its just will it fit in the stock caliper.

As you can see the hat number is 170-9289 and the rotor is 160-8399 and 160-8398. The total weight would be 20.3lbs vs like 30lbs for the stock I read. Also summit racing by my house has these at $157.95 for the top hat and 263.82 for each replacement rotor. Anyone confirm fitment?

Google turned up $250 a rotor and $153 a top hat.

in for results

Same here,

Why not just get RacingBrake 2-piece rotors? They work with the sport calipers. And only weigh 22lb per rotor compared to the stock 30lbers.

If that's true than they're 1.7 lbs heavier and $113 more expensive. Not a good deal there.

I don't think they'll fit to be honest... the caliper sits a little different than the sport caliper, so the rotors are designed different than our stock ones. I just put on the front Wilwood BBK this weekend. Granted I did the 13" setup.. had to cut the dust shield completely off because the rotor sits closer to the hub than stock.

Wouldn't hurt to call Wilwood tomorrow.

haha at the title :icon18: :tup:

I have the RA 2-piece which are the lightest of all but I am not convinced saving weight on the front rotors on this car is the best option for heavy brakers like me.

Big advantage in cooling though. Especially with cooling kits, the air can get inside the hub and into the ring from the inside...

You know that, though.

The two-piece design is advantageous for cooling however the rotor is a heat sink and less mass in the rotor means less cooling.

That's what I figured when I went with the 13" setup for my fronts. But that should be efficient enough for street and light track use. 14" or even 15" rotors are going to dissipate heat much more effectively.

No it wouldn't. And they have so many hats I'm sure one fits. Before I call I'm gonna pull the rotor and get every measurement I can to give them a better insight.

Oops. Yaaaa ipad :ughdance:

So they're not 22lbs?

RA are 19 lbs.

I'm a heavy braker too. I'm running the RB 2 piece rotors, Hard Brake Ti heat shields in the front calipers, and the RC brake ducts.

Proof?? First hand? Cause my CBE makes 900hp.

:confused:

Mind popping that off and putting it on a real scale so we can all see the weight?

No problem. The next time I have the wheels off.

I'll get you a picture of it tomorrow. I just pulled mine off after I installed the Wilwood kit.

Ill have to adjust the wilwood weight as I was wrong. The bolt kits not included I believe so add a pound. AND $60 each rotor!!! They're nuts. I'd be buying and drilling my own safety wire holes at that price

RacingBrake products are legit, they just don't get advertised on here much and due to their price I'm assuming aren't as popular as a much less expensive standard solid rotor. I took weights off the stock front rotor and the front RacingBrake rotor..

My dad weighed them at 19.8 lbs. when he put them on the car, which is now mine.

Oops, I thought he was asking about the RacingBrake rotor weight.. lol. Oh well :tup:

Nice, thanks!!

Wait I'm confused. How could you two guys be so far off on weight? 2.2lbs is huge.

I'm talking about the RA (Relentless Autosport) rotors and he is talkinga about the RB (Racing Brake) rotors.

Ahh, missed that. Hmm. Idk the prices everyone charges I think's insane. If they didn't rake people over the coals they'd sell more and make more profit! Almost $500 for one peice of metals just robbery when the metal doesnt cost that much, have a CNC program written and boom, done. I know track guys that go through $100 sets whenever and they work so idk. End rant.

Just as a heads up, these are cheaper on Amazon

Fifty bucks cheaper, and PRIME. I love Amazon.

I hate Racing Brake's name, it's so damned generic, hard as hell to find anything they make.
