Re: Wilwood Brakes

Update: these are performing very well in the current icy conditions! Soft gentle braking is easy and feedback is excellent! ABS is not affected!

Overall, an excellent and not much more costly alternative to the OEM set up.... Plus you can sell the old callipers and discs and recoup some of the additional outlay!

Re: Wilwood Brakes

wouldnt mind a set but on a 1.1 forfour and with 15" wheel, it makes no sence!

Re: Wilwood Brakes

Doesnt make sense on the BRAB as the car is light and the brakes are from the volvo s40 so are more than capable but the option was there to be tried and tested and if it supports the modding scene of the forfour then why not!

Same with the forge pipes for the BRAB that I trialled for forge and then put together the fitting guide for them!

Still trying to chase them for some development opportunities for intercoolers but their R&D schedule is massively hectic

Try your panel filter, may be drop some weight or try smaller wheels for better accln

Re: Wilwood Brakes

dont care much for acceleration, i just want more oompf, but that could be to do with me driving big powerfull cars at work and then jumping in to my forfour.

'mutters to self' i wonder if there is an induction kit for the 1.1...

Re: Wilwood Brakes

But it's only a 1.1 so not much you can do!

Panel filter will be best as with induction, you will lose the cold air unless you put a nice feed in.... (do you have a MAF sensor on your intake to the air box?)

Save your money and trade up to cdi? I will always go for a car with a turbo now purely for the quick win gain of power from a remap
