Brake caliper WILWOOD or OEM Audi

WILWOOD Brake caliper

I purposely upgraded my NB’s braking and suspension to race-ready standards because I commute… a LOT.

I have come to realize there are others on the road who are absurdly inept behind the wheel and want every tool at my avail to avoid them. I have fully adjustable Meister-R’s on all four corners and Willwood calipers in the front. I had to put them to the test when someone did a no-look lane change into my lane with ZERO clearance and I was required to stomp on the brakes to keep from hitting them. The Wilwoods earned their keep that night.

Pros: earned their keep
Vehicle: Mazda

If you get a wilwood superlite caliper, the pads will be cheaper and are 20mm thick. They aren’t a top of the line caliper but should be more than enough. Also you can run endurance pads. I use raybestos st43 although those seem hard to get now. Pagid rsl29 or ebc sr11 will be endurance pads with similar or slightly less mu.

Pros: cheaper, 20mm thick

Rating 5.0

Yes basically the same as Macan calipers, just a LOT less expensive. The feel is great, more pad area and better clamping force compared to the OEM single piston, made my tires scream for mercy. The weight savings is a nice perk as well.

Pros: great feel, better clamping
Vehicle: Volkswagen

For brakes, I went with Willwood 4 piston calipers with 10.1in rotors and a disk conversion in the rear. So, now I can stop, and have a lil less scary ride.

Pros: less scary ride

The biggest problem with the Girling 60s is the weight, and the fact that the calipers are designed for 10 5/8" rotors, so they aren't a perfect fit with Corrado G60 11.0" brake rotors that they are used with.

Cons: weight, not perfect fit
