Hi,
I just finished a prototype IRS Wilwood kit. This is a 12.19" x .81" vented rotor with the integral E-brake inside the rotor. The price is $1595.00 including 2 new IRS knuckles, 2 IRS hubs, new Wilwood brake kit machined to fit the machined IRS Knuckles.
Any questions or thoughts?

Hi,
I have to machine the knuckle some, machine the backing plate, make a caliper mount and machine the rotor. I could machine your used spindles and make your knuckles & hubs work for a price concession.
I have no plans to send detailed pictures. I've been working on this since this spring when I was told this would be a great improvement over the current Wilwood kits available.... and spent tons of time and tied up lots of money. I hope someone makes it worth it. To date I have just prototyped this and will need to custom machine the parts & spacers. I need purchases to make this happen to more than another dream.
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
I received 6 set of Wilwood brakes yesterday. I'll be machining brackets and parts to assemble these kits.
I have 2 people so far. Anyone else interested?

Good news /Bad news
This is a picture of a prototype setup in a Team3 15" wheel.....As you can see it almost fits! So this first batch will be for the 17" crowd.14034

So for the 15" guys.........
This same setup is possibly available. What we need:

5 customers to make the redesign happen.

$1695.00 for these kits - These should fit the Factory 5 15" wheels as well

Steve, I would be interested in pricing for those who already have the hubs and knuckles.

Mike, thanks again, I am on the road, so would need to get the car in the air and pull it apart. It looks like a great option though. I need to pull the trans this winter, once I know the scope of the work on that I'll know if I can pull the trigger on the brakes.
