wilwood d154 calipers - anybody used them?

Been peaking around and found that Wilwood offers a set of dual piston front calipers that says are a direct fit on Syclones. Has anybody used these/can anybody verify they fit without any major modification?

I just picked up a set so I will let you know how they feel. They are single piston, not dual.

With the option to run LS1 brakes with larger rotors which are commonly found in the junkyard for cheap, I could never justify the cost of the Wilwood calipers.

I have them on my Typhoon. They are a nice piece. They fit perfect even with my
15" rims.

Re: wilwood d154 calipers - anybody used them?

Does anyone who has these think they are a better braking alternative than stock that you can actually tell the difference over the stock setup. The price isn't that bad after you think of modifying your spindle....getting rotors...Install. ...etc.....let me know what you think if they are worth it. Been looking to do an front brake upgrade for a while.

That's pretty good....is that the price for single and dual piston setup? Why didn't you get the duals vs. Single piston? I'm just curious!

To your health! Ya dingus!

Re: wilwood d154 calipers - anybody used them?

that was for single piston. i got 3 different answers from wilwood and 2 other "dealers". I wanted to run the stock 16". 2 or 4 piston setups in the front from wilwood will need you to run 17" or bigger. I'm not 100% sure on that and I've called wilwood directly and couldn't get a straight answer. I figured I will try them out and order the 2 piston setup for another one of my trucks. I will keep you posted this week and let you know if i notice a significant difference. although I'm completely redoing the front end on the truck that these are going on so I don't know how much will be the suspension vs. the brakes

Was it something you felt was an improvement over stock calipers? Or was it a mmmeah....it was an ok investment.

These ones are on Xmojox's Ty. I only drove it once. I noticed the difference right away from my stock truck. But... I think he also had drilled and slotted rotors.

I have drilled and slotted with stock calipers... didn't notice much if a difference ....maybe the calipers are the major factor.

It's probably more the brake pads he used. Hawk HP plus pads work amazingly well.

What color box are the hawk plus pads? I do belive I bought the blue box ones that are in my truck now.
