I picked this car up a few yrs back and didnt get much info or reciepts for what was done to it. Now I need to replace the rear brakes for maintence but I cant seem to get the right parts for it! It says "Wilwood" on the black calipers and has drilled & slotted rotors. I tried the local parts place and all they gave me was stock rotors and pads that wont fit at all.
I checked the wilwood website and dont seem to see the same package as this car has, besides the prices for those kits are OUTRAGEOUS!
So what do I do? Convert it back to stock brakes? Anyone else have a similar setup on their car and can help me with the replacement parts? Any help is greatly appreciated!

Exactly which components of the rear brakes do you need to replace - pads, rotors, calipers? Try and get a part number off the calipers if you can. Then contact Wilwood directly for help.
Im trying to replace the rotors & pads. You think if I get the caliper # they could point me in the right direction for the parts and if they still make them?
I tell you what, the aftermarket rotors that are on there now have one hell of a hub compared to the stock rotors autozone wanted to sell me.

They should be able to identify the kit # with the caliper number, and the rotor diameter. Sending a photo of the setup with dimensions might help them identify.
Thanks I will try that! If they tell me the prices I am seeing online I might be going back to stock brakes...

Finally got around to taking a wheel off and snapping a few pics to send off to wilwood...figure I would post them here too but I cant seem to post pics. Is there a time limit or post limit I have to hit before posting pics?

You can't post pictures directly in threads. You have to have them on a website, and link them. There is a place you can upload them on the site.
Well I sent an email to Wilwoods Tech support almost a week ago with no response....hhhuuummm....Poor customer service or EXTREMELY busy? Either way in my eyes its poor service but I will give them the benifit of the doubt n send the same email to their general customer service email.
I just want to get this car drivable again now that the nice weathers here!!

Nope...actually trying to get funds together to purchase a whole rear with a good brake setup still attached. Sad but no one from Wilwood ever responded to my emails. I will never buy anything from them, glad I didnt buy this stuff!
