[na beast]

Haha yer that's what I was gunna say

[DVS JEZ]

WOOHOOO, i recieved 1 brake caliper and hat.

i guess thats a start for now

[PM-R33]

Lol WHAT?! Just one brake caliper and one hat and that's all?! WTF!

[DVS JEZ]

Woops i meant 1 rotor and 1 disc hat. Thats it

[PM-R33]

WTF? I'll email him to see how he sent them out. Maybe he used seperate boxes for everything due to weight.

Any one else get their brake kit parts?

[VitaminE]

Just picked up a pair of black dumplings from the post office earlier today.

[PM-R33]

Nice! Did you just get the calipers?

So we have one rotor and two calipers between two people, AWESOME! One more person and we will have a full kit

[VitaminE]

Calipers came with nuts/bolts, pads and brake lines.

[PM-R33]

Brake lines?! WTF. I told him we didn't need brake lines because we got the Hel ones.

EDIT: Just found two postage pick up slips in the mail box! So maybe my brakes arrived today aswell. I wonder what parts I got lol.

[DVS JEZ]

maybe u got 2 boxes, 1 disc in each lol

[PM-R33]

Hahahaha probably.

Have you gotten anything yet?

[DVS JEZ]

Not yet. Still just 1 disc and hat.

Let us know whats in ur 2 boxes

[PM-R33]

Hahaha ok.

Was hoping you got more today.

Actually the more I think about it, perhaps mine isn't the Wilwood brakes but the V Spec II pedals because it doesn't make sense that I would get mine at the same time as you guys when yours got sent prior to my kit even being ready (remember one kit was on back order)....

Hmmm the plot thickens...

[75coupe]

oh could it be the pedals.... maybe... possibly???

oh now Im excited and its not even the right thread...

[PM-R33]

Hahahaha

[na beast]

Ohk so apparently I did receive mine today but the old girl forgot to bring them home from work so I'll let you's know tomorrow which parts I received

[PM-R33]

Haha sweet. It's like a jigsaw!

[PM-R33]

Well it wasn't the pedals like I thought (honestly was hoping it was them just to have that nightmare over) but it was the Wilwoods. Not sure what the go was there considering my kit was ment to be on back order yet I got it at the same time as you guys?

Now it wasn't the whole kit however I think they are sending them in seperate packages like this for two reasons, due to the weight of the kits and also to seperate the order due to customs. I thought they would just dodgy up the invoices a lot more but instead this is probably the better way for every one.

One box contained just the brake rotor and the hat. The hat is extremely light, lighter than I actually thought it would be. I will weigh all the components of the Wilwood kit and factory setup to compare weights when I go to install them. The rotor itself is very chunky!

Next box was the two calipers, brake pads, lines and bolts. No idea why they sent the lines, most likely a mistake.

The calipers are very light and look gorgeous. I also test fitted the Hel lines into them and they fit! Brake pads are huge, a lot thicker than the EBC Red Stuff pads I have on the factory calipers at the moment.

So there you go

Hopefully the other rotor and caliper adaptors arrive soon.

Let me know when you guys get your other parts.

The rotor unboxing this morning was a little Tron Legacy-esque for me.

[na beast]

Recieved all of mine
