Wilwood superlite calipers vs uk fronts

Hi guys

 

I've purchased some uk brakes which I'm getting refurbished so they will be as new.

 

I've also seen some wilwood 4 pot superlite calipers, these have a larger discs at 440mm over the ukspec size

 

Can anybody offer any suggestions if these wilwood would be better than the uk brakes or not?

 

Cheers

Think you have the discs size wrong, thats like 17-1/4 inch:), but anyway i nearly got one of the kits your thinking of until i did abit of reading up and also mentioned it to chris wilson

Something about the calipers flexing to much, really the only advantage with the wilwood is pad choice,

I went with a brembo gt front kit in the end and tbh they`re unreal and loads of pad choice as they use gtr r35 rear pad shape!

I,ve got the front set up with Wilwood , calipers , discs , and bespoke performance pads . Its a very good kit , certainly better than the uk oem set up ( I,ve had both ) on a few Supes. Because one or two don't like them does,nt mean their inferior . That's their opinion .
