I would like to thank Frank@Prodigy Customs for our new Wilwood setup! He is the man for brakes and just about everything else. I don't know how many of these are out yet, but Wilwood doesn't even have the correct instructions for the rear yet...:lol:
Sorry there are BIG pics...14in" front and rear setup for a customers 69 Camaro we are building. I'll get some pics on the car as soon as our DSE subframe gets here...I love the way the front and rears match and should fill out the wheels nicely!

Thanks for the kind words brother. This is a awesome set up at a awesome price. We are lucky Wilwood is setting us up with these pre release. Glad you got them OK. Can't wait to see the car, sounds like it will be baddass!

Can you mount your tires on those rotors?:Alchy: Oh yea thats right they don't make tires that size anymore:dunno: or at least I haven't seen them anywhere for a longggggg time.
It's just incredible how far we have come isn't it!

Are they going to have rear brackets for a 9" Ford?

This setup is for a 9" rear. It's pretty cool how it mounts almost identical to the front. I'll try and get them installed on the rear and some pics.

Haven't you heard? They aren't even going to use wheels or tires! They're just going to run them on the rotors!:rotfl:

14" rotors on the rear are kinda large,aren't they? Seems like you would have to run a lot of brake bias to keep the rears from locking first. Help me out here,guys.

I agree with you there. I think its for the bling factor and the ability to say that "I have 14" rotors on 4 corners". Its neat for sure, but thats a whole lot of unused material.

That's just insane. I've heard you can't get Wilwoods that are slotted only (not drilled) that also match front and rear.
I'd like to see pics on the car when you can.

Clint your correct. Were running the Wilwood pedal setup as well with the correct master cylinders for front and rear. Then we can fine tune it with the balance bar. Since it's a manual setup (no power brakes) we wanted enough brake all around so you don't have to be a power lifter to stop the car. :lmao:
