    Cool Wilwood EPB Electric Power Brakes

    I asked about the Wilwood EPB setup, and it seems it will fit the same mount as the standard brake (MC-4)

    Thank you for the inquiry with Wilwood Disc Brakes.
    Our EPB calipers have the same mount spacing and can use the same brackets as a kit originally configured for our MC-4 mechanical parking brake calipers.
    The big difference is going to be the size of the parking brake calipers themselves. The EPB’s are much longer due to their electric motors. You will need to see if you have space on your specific application to run one of these calipers.
    Caliper dimensions can be found on the kits Data Sheet: https://www.wilwood.com/PDF/DataSheets/ds1353.pdf

    compared to the MC-4 brake setup https://www.wilwood.com/PDF/Flyers/fl305.pdf
    it looks to be ~ 6mm deeper into the chassis which shouldn't affect any geometry

    the retail price is steep ~1,100, but can be found on Jegs or Summit Racing for cheaper...

    I do want to do the electric parking brakes - with the ESTOPP setup at $500 and modifications to fit, etc it would be another $150-200 and still use the cable setup...
    I think the EPB can be a cleaner install overall - granted a little more in price

    anyone have these yet?
