I found this Wilwood kit on eBay. Price isnt too bad, but im wondering if anyone has used it or has any experience with it.

The Dynalite calipers have a pretty small pad size. But they have been the mainstay of Wilwood kits for decades.

Oh shoot, I didn’t know that. Thank you for the insight.

I did some more research and the SuperLites look like the way to go. I found a kit for about $300 more that has:

(1 piece rotor) 13” Front SuperLites
and
12” Rear DynaLites.

Did some more research on 1 piece vs 2 piece, and the general concensus was that 2 piece is for more aggressive use such as track racing. My car is only for street, so the 1 piece rotor will do fine.

Thank you again for pointing out that there is a difference in pad sizes

Yanchik - Do you have a link to the kit you found w/ 13" front Superlites? I am going to do brakes soon as well. Thanks

Yes Superlites do have a bigger pad and probably a better choice for our heavy vehicles.

These are the 1 piece rotor ones ^^ If you ebay search “Chevelle SuperLites 13/12” you’ll see a bunch
