I was wondering has anybody put wilwood brakes on there truck and if so do they make a kit or did they have some type of adapter on them?

 

I dunno about wilwoods, but I know there's a host of dudes that throw lexus brakes on their trucks.

 

Well I'm gonna run the 15" weld v-series wheel on my truck and I don't need a big brake up grade just better. I was even thinking of a way I could mount the spindle mount wheels on my truck.

 

Also is there another spindle that would work?

 

we have dudes running wilwood setups. They're on here, but it's pricey.

I got a pair of Mk3 Supra spindles and hubs with calipers I might be selling. No rotors since they were rusted as fuuuu (rotors are like $30 ea anyway)

Supposedly gives 1.5" drop. may need to ream balljoint holes and tie rod holes though.

aside from that, you can get BBK's for Mk3 Supra's lol









and use the search function on the forum.

 

I appreciate the offer but I'm gonna put weld v-series wheels on my truck!

 

I was thinking about maybe some new a-arms and a mustang II spindle has anyone done this?

 

I run a 12.19'' Wilwood rotor @ the front,see post ,brake up grade!
And the is a Wilwood kit for the front & they can match it for the rear!

 

Wilwood IS budget compared to the good stuff out there.

 

Well I was looking around 7-800 for the front cause I'm gonna be racing the truck and a 15" wheel has gotta be able to fit over it. Does anybody have any ideas for a spindle mount wheel?

 

Cool I think I'm gonna try a different spindle, has anyone tried the mustang II spindle?

 

Any rotor over 10'' will require a 17'' or bigger rim!
Stock is 9.25''

 

Yup ^ it be hard pressed to get a decent rotor and caliper setup to fit a fifteen inch .id start for 17 inch so you can increase rotor size wich also helps in dissipating excessive heat produced buy large powerful calipers ... Or look for oem large calipers like 300zx or gs400 ..

Spindle mount center lock wheels are expensive ...there are some maid for road spec miatas so might look into a miatia websites

I know the center lock ingersall socket is 670 dollars !!

 

I don't mean to offend, but you are gonna need a larger rim for any sort of large brakes. Otherwise your best bet is find a good performance replacement for the stock rotor, and add a 4runner 4 piston caliper. Or similar calipers. As for the center mount rim I'm sure there are adapters for run 5x4.5" to a single post.

With a 17" rim your options really open up for fitment. Larger rotors allow more brake ability anyways, so I would say adjust your build plan a bit. I'm sure your wheel choice is available larger than a 15".

 

Well I am new to the Toyota pickups an on my mustang I had aerospace brakes with a 15" rim up front. I emailed try motorsports about making some spindles so I will see what he says. The truck will have a 8.8 that came out of my old mustang that I sold. I appreciate everybody's help hopefully I can get this figures out!

Here's a little info on the size of the rotos on the aerospace ones!

 

11 3/8's inch rotor diameter, that's a bit.


I believe LS400 rotors are 12.4" and stock they came with 16's, but I'm unsure if 15's fit.

Raffaeli has them on his 84+ spindles on his 1982 truck.
