Scooby2.5 Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 (edited) The calipers that came with the kit are no longer available, as willwood changed the design a bit. The new ones are actually a bit better as they are not side specific. "It has been redesigned with internal fluid ports that eliminate the external fluid cross-over tubes, along with any potential problems that could arise from a damaged tube. The transfer tube has been replaced with two additional bleed screw assemblies which allows this group of symmetrical piston bore models to be mounted either right or left in a leading or trailing position." Eric at brakeswap is not selling the "kit" anymore but...... You can get the brackets from Eric at Brakeswap and then just purchase the calipers. The new caliper part number is: 120-11132 http://www.wilwood.com/Search/PartNoSearch.aspx?itemno=120-11132 I purchased mine from Summit Racing http://www.summitracing.com/parts/WIL-120-11132/ WIL-120-11132 Edited September 6, 2012 by Scooby2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Schrei Wolf Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 How much are the brackets? Will they fit under 08-09 six spokes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Th3Franz Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 I believe the 08-09 six spokes had trouble clearing the calipers. it's a really tight fit with the 05 5-spokes. I could be wrong though. -Franz The end of a Legacy http://www.youtube.com/th3franz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcazi Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Where do we find the brackets? Can you get this kit in red also? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooby2.5 Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 (edited) Marcazi See post 51 I do believe Wilwood makes the calipers in red you would have to call Wilwood with the part number in post 51 and ask them Edited September 7, 2012 by Scooby2.5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcazi Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Thanks for the reply. I was wondering if I missed it somewhere online instead of having to call them. Ill give them a call! Still no rear brake kit either? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I put these calipers on my Scion tC. I had an issue with Wilwood's aluminum bracket, so I made my own out of steel (laser cut and powder coated). Since I still have the drawing, the Wilwood side should still be applicable. It would just need to be modified to the Subaru side. If we can't get them from Eric, I may start making them. This Wilwood caliper is incredible, and the cost of the Brembo calipers far exceed their value. Would anyone be interested in a group buy if I make these brackets?

Marcazi Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 Yes! I need to replace my stock calipers and I really want to make this upgrade while I am at it. I would love a set of brackets... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dade Posted September 7, 2012 Share Posted September 7, 2012 With the caliper dimensions, my only concern here is that the Wilwood caliper and pads are smaller in height. I had a harmonic issue with the tC and had to go to Wilwood two-piece rotors because the pad was not tall enough. I am going to research this more. http://www.wilwood.com/images/Caliper/images_dimensions-lg/Forged_Superlite_Internal-cm-lg.jpg http://www.wilwood.com/images/Caliper/images_dimensions-lg/7420-pd-lg.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcazi Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I was in contact with Eric at Brakeswap and he said he is working with a machine shop to make the brackets again. Hopefully it is something I can get done soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
parkcitylgt Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 I really like my brakeswap Wilwoods. I also like the Wilwood BP10 pads. I have a set of Hawk HPS pads that fit these calipers -- still in the original plastic and cardboard. $50+ shipping if anyone wants them. Thanks.

Justin case Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 I'm thinking about trying these but am wondering where you guys got your pads for them? or how did you look them up? And I emailed Eric yesterday and was also told their waiting on the machine shop still. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
