2J racing will do a group buy on the Wilwood 12.2" 6 piston front only kit they sell. The base kit normally goes for 879.00 they will do it for 699.00 if we have 10 or more takers. Another forum has 5 people intertested. I believe 2J will allow us to combine forces. So we need 5 people here to make the deal work. Granted our stock brakes are very good, the Wilwood's look great, should reduce dust and will provide even more bite.

I'm interested. Do you know if we can get that base price then add the options for the cost shown on their website?

 

[Joe in Dublin]

Yes 699.00 then add slotted rotors , lines, whatever.

 

[Baker19]

Thanks Joe, I'll look at my finances and respond asap if I can join the group buy.

 

[Almyar]

Depends on when it's going to be shipped, i'm going to come into some finances soon and am pretty interested, more information?

 

[Joe in Dublin]

They confirmed they will do the 5 from the other forum and the 5 from this forum. Just need 5 guys to call and order all at the same time.

Is that $699.00 price without the Wilwood line kit that the page says is REQUIRED for installation ($105.99)?

And at that price it's without any silly slots or holes in the rotors.

I wouldn't have considered an aftermarket brake kit for this car, but it appears we still have no brake pad choices for the front. I have my third track event in the car in a month and my OEM pads are on the backing plate now. It's spend a couple hundred for OEM pads that will still not perform on track or put that money toward a solution.

Is this a reputable vendor? Is there any comment on availability? For example, if you pay today, how long is the wait.

 

[Joe in Dublin]

Base kit, no new lines, regular rotors for 699. U will need new brakes lines of some sort, different fittings.

 

[Joe in Dublin]

I think of all 5 of us contact him we can put order in. I dont know how many kits are on the shelf.

I'm not interested, but I'm intertested

If it came as a complete bolt-on kit with lines I'd be interested!! What colors do they come in? Any pics?

 

[Joe in Dublin]

Just go to their website, basically for 810 plus shipping u will have a bolt on kit

 

[94Gt5.0]

Their site says they're for a 2011, hopefully they'll fit properly on an ST.

 

[Joe in Dublin]

they will fit. fronts that is.

 

[Chicane]

Is it appropriate to call that company directly and inquire on availability? As I said, I might be more inclined to jump if I knew it would be here far enough in advance of a May 17 Track event that I'm attending. If that's not possible, then I may just get some pads and play a bit more of a waiting game to see what manufacturers come forward with their own pads.

Personally, I believe that the stock brakes are more than enough for ALL street driving this car will ever see. Having this ST as my backup track car means mine will only ever see up to several weekends on track a year. A BBK is more than overkill for me.

Any update on this?

I have called the number on their website and sent an email. No response.

 

[Joe in Dublin]

Im looking into another vendor aswell. I may hold off, its really only a looks upgrade

 

[Chicane]

Just to update.

I ended up getting a nice and informative response from 2J Racing.
Apparently, the Group Buy hasn't met the numbers, but he says it's still going.

I am awaiting his confirmation of availability and shipping ETA and will know then if I am moving forward.

If any of you are on the fence, this appears to still be a possibility.

Along those lines.....Does anyone know of ANY aftermarket, track, pads available NOW for the stock front calipers?

I just emailed them. Thanks.

I had been to their site but since the car isn't listed, I presumed they weren't available.
