Brakes: Which ones WMS or Wilwoods

[Taggy]

Buying new brakes soon but i am wondering what peoples thoughts are on either a new set of WMS brakes or buying a 2nd hand set of Willwoods.

The brakes are two pot for the WMS and 4 pot for the Willlwoods, what differences are there over running 2 vs 4 pots

Car is just a track car with a few miles on the road.

Recommendations?

im sure imnot the only one that will tell you this..

Ive got Willwood 4pots and there immense!

it would be less painful to actually hit the thing you were tryin to miss, they stop VERY well

Buy Idrees' Willwoods

i thought wms were 4pots aswell, ive got a set here

[Taggy]

ah right i have been misinformed then!!

The WMS kit is a 4-pot setup...

Also we're planning further upgrades to fit under 15" wheels, alloy bells and rotors should happen very very soon (weeks I hope).

go for the WMS kit, they are fellow bexhillians so they've got to be good

Buy Idrees' Willwoods

Cheap enough too with loads of meat on them

I'd say both are equal in terms of braking performance and quality and many people use both in all makes of car.

With the WMS they will be brand new and you will have all the customer support and future upgrades/consumable replenish you will ever need.

With the Wilwoods you will not as they are 2nd hand, the brand is however well established.

If you prefer your parts brand spankers then its a no brainer that you should consider WMS as a very decent alternative.

Enzo uses WMS and I have my set sitting in the spare bedroom waiting on Jays Garage to fit them (upgrading from twinpots).

Perfect when you are upgrading your blower and at times when you need that late stopping power confidence on the track

Hope this helps.

Wise words Jozinobi, i think buying new is the way forward with a WMS kit. Like you said you get warrenty and after sales support too.

Thanks

am running the wms brakes aswell cant fault them in anyway and any questions ive had keri's always been fast to reply when answers

[Liam_D]

Im in the exact dilemma at the minute!! Think WMS are winning just for the fact that they'll be brand spankers.

Need to find a money tree first though

[ollie ryan]

im going wms because my is a road car aswell so still want full use of abs and the willwoods arnt great with abs from what i have heard

[Keri-WMS]

Thanks for the feedback guys!

For what it's worth there are still three sets un-reserved in the inbound batch, so if you want one drop me a PM!

[phil0694]

Yep, go for WMS service is top notch, never had a problem with the kit and amazing brakes!!!

i have the heavy duty wms kit and its spot on. loads of stopping power. you put any 4 pot kit on a light car like a starlet and its going to stop on its nose.
