Wilwood Track-Day Brake System (FD3S RX-7)

We are proud to introduce our new Wilwood Track-Day Brake System. Building on the success of our AP Competition Brake System, we produced this brake kit, with the intention of bringing race-inspired engineering to the broader motorsports market. Utilizing many of the specifications of our AP kit, we have designed what is in essence, a light-competition brake system, employing high-end track & street components. The result is a system which provides incredible performance for cost, accessible to the broader driving enthusiast market, which can be easily upgraded to race-performance components if you choose.

The Forged Superlight Calipers use the same 20mm Brake Pads that our AP kit uses. These not only add additional thermal barrier between the rotor and caliper, but will also last longer than a standard competition brake pad. Many other calipers use pads that are 12-17mm’s thick resulting in reduced thermal insulation (potentially more brake fluid boiling), and significantly increased pad replacement intervals.  In essence you're getting more brake pad material for the same cost of a set of brake pads.  Thanks to using a very common pad shape, replacing pads will also be significantly cheaper and easier to source.

Our SBG Premium Brake Rotors have been designed to provide the highest possible performance for cost. Our design utilizes race-inspired directional veins, which drastically increases air flow compared to a stock, straight vein rotor.  Our proprietary slot design improves the responsiveness of braking, with better bite, and prevents excessive brake dust build up, keeping brake components clean and improving mechanical engagement.  Optionally this kit is offered with an upgrade to AP Racing Floating Rotors for extreme track use.

This is the perfect package for customers looking for the maximum bang for their buck when it comes to brake performance.  

Our Package Includes:

• Wilwood Forged Superlight Calipers
• 6061 Billet Caliper Mounting Brackets
• SBG 325x32mm Solid Mount Premium Brake Rotors  or  Optional 325x32 Floating AP Rotors
• SBG Designed 2024 T351 Aluminum Rotor Hats
• DOT Approved Stainless Steel Brake Lines with dirt/abrasion sleeves
• Full Pictorial Installation Guide

This kit has everything you need to overhaul your aging, undersized stock brake system.  From stock cars to high horsepower builds, this brake setup is a fantastic match with outstanding braking performance that will not break the bank.  Compatible with the SBG Competition Rear Brake Kit as a package price, to completely maximize the braking potential of your FD.

The directional vanes (as opposed to straight vane OEM rotors) act as an air pump to pull cold air from the center of the rotor and expel hot air at the rotors edge.  Directional curved vanes literally expel heat and therefore run cooler than straight vane designs given the same rotor mass.  The rotors in this kit were designed for efficiency and weight reduction to drastically raise the bar for braking capacity while avoiding the deteriments of unsprung weight on handling.

*Brake pads for this caliper are readily available from nearly every pad manufacturer. As pad choice varies greatly depending on personal preference, application, and desired cost, we decided not to include pads to reduce the total cost as one pad obviously does not fit all. To see a list of commonly used pads please visit the following Link. We are able to source many other pads such as Performance Friction and Endless. We will be stocking various Endless pad compounds in the near future.

*Note: 17” or larger rims are required to accommodate this brake kit.
