H2_SUT_SC 07-14-2005 10:35 PM

I've been looking online to find a big brake set as I plan on putting larger rims/tires on my upcoming SUT and came across a few different big brake kits. (I have them on my Denali and they helped A TON).

Wilwood - 6piston 16" Front/ 4piston 13" Rear
--$4500

Brembo - 6piston 15" Front/ 4piston 14" Rear
--$8k

StopTech - 8piston 15" Front/ 4piston 15" Rear
--$8495

A better question. Why are Brembo's & StopTech so expensive.

Does anyone have any experience with Wilwood brakes at all?? As long as they are reliable I'm all over it. You can't beat 6 piston with 16" rotors.

KenP 07-18-2005 03:30 PM

Bremo's are probably 8 piston.

Some opinions:

Thanks for the links, interesting info. I know Brembo does make 8 piston calipers but none that I've seen for the H2's.

This site lists 6 piston calipers on the Brembe Gran Turismo kits.

I’m not familiar with wilwoods automotive applications, but they have been building the brake systems for all of Arctic Cats high performance model snowmobiles for at least the last ten years. None of the other snowmobile manufacturers have been able to come up with anything better, including Ski-Doo that uses Brembos on some high end models.

gordon 07-22-2005 02:47 AM

Brembo's are top of line aside from Porsche oe equipment, and Stop Tech's are usually porsche replicas. but as was mentioned before, check the caliper setup(dual, single piston) as well as the warranty on the rotor itself.

KenP 07-22-2005 03:38 AM

You must be a lesbian doctor. You don't know sh!t about HUMMERS. Now your opinion on brakes is in question.

ahaha. you must still be really upset that you wasted 60 g's on a hunk of **** Gerneral Motors slush box. Maybe if you call GM and complain about how you got ripped off, they might give you the employee discount. I'll bet that all the MTV genration teenage girls wet themselves when they see you pull on the beach in your shiny H2.

So what do you think about Nike?

HGW 07-23-2005 12:42 AM

Be careful with the Wilwoods---they have GREAT racing brakes but make sure the set for an H2 have the right pads.

If not, they will squeak like a bitch with a stick up its ass until they get hot. And...they never seem to get hot enough on the street. Maybe Wilwood has come out with a street package? but I am not sure.

Take the Brembos over the StopTech. The Brembos are great---do you really need them is the question? I sell brakes so I should push big brakes but how big are your wheels and tires going to be?

gordon 07-23-2005 05:20 AM

the reason your brakes are sweeking is because you forgot to apply brake grease to pads, and break in the calipers properly. you cannot stamp the system out before 500 miles, as the metallurgy of the calipers needs to be broken in to form its base solidity. also anyone who quotes this post is a homosexual dickrider, and needs to visit the spa, or find a girlfriend as ugly as themsleves. release all that built up system admin angst.

HGW 07-23-2005 03:31 PM

My breaks are not sweaking. I do not have Wilwoods for street use.

I also see you did some quick editing. Gave yourself a little raise, did you? And noticed your b-day and location changed overnight, too. Funny little turd. I like your pretend friends.

DRTYFN 07-23-2005 03:50 PM

Your taste in movies, tv, books and people you want to meet mysteriously changed, too. What happened? You pee your panties, or something? Silly little bitch.

DRTYFN 07-23-2005 03:52 PM

And your occupation is now mother/homemaker?
You really must have pissed your pants. LMFAO!!! Bitch. Doesn't change what we already have on you.
Tick tock...

DRTYFN 07-23-2005 03:54 PM

And you went from agnostic to Christian overnight? Funny how comparing a captured screen shot will show differences.

DRTYFN 07-23-2005 03:55 PM

And you got REALLY short overnight. Damn. Now I understand how you went from what you were to a short woman.

You got married overnight? So, let me get this straight... you changed sex, got short, brought Jesus into your life, quit your job and became a mother/homemaker, changed your birthday, got a hefty raise, changed your taste in movies & books, moved to Alabama, rethought all of the people you'd like to meet and decided that you really did like all of the vapid tv shows that you formerly despised. But you did keep the pictures of your pretend friends and that quote from Pennywise that must hold some creepy child-molesting/killing meaning in your empty heart.
It would appear that you've **** your pants.
Can't change what we've already seen. Too bad, so sad.

I'm not planning on reading The Koran anytime soon. If it's teachings lead to strapping bombs to your body and killing innocents. Then it ain't my cup o tea.

yeah see there, your still dangling from my scrotum. admit it, your not handsome enough to have a decent looking broad, so you spend all day on the internet lashing out out at, and doing research on people that could give two ****s about your upper middle class spoiled brat mindset of self centered alcova geekdom. your my biggest fan thus far. so how does it feel? how do my balls smell?

DennisAJC 07-23-2005 08:56 PM

DRTY,

Did you add, "Now she's a he" to your list?

fag/magdi habbibi,

It's inappropriate for you to post since your kind just killed another 75 innocents in the latest cowardly attack.

Can't take the hint? You not wanted here. Comming back only makes you look needy.

ha, yeah thats really clever ploy you have going on there. using current events as a shield for your innate boysih cowardice. please do not try and attach me to your media campiagn of disinformation. now go sniff coke and inject androstine with the rest of the repressed insecure cops on this forum. oh, and i guess you might need a refresher as to just what the word "public" means. your kind of people kill innocent citizens in name of allah. what kind of sick religion do you practice? go fly away on your magic carpet.

DennisAJC 07-24-2005 01:29 AM

Now your name is gordon?

Switching your identity and revamping the info onyour webpage is NOT going to help you. Your time is comming.

LOL on the attempt to switcharoo onto me raghead. I don't subscribe to your Allah.

I'd berry much like to stick a chopstick in your eye though.

PARAGON 07-24-2005 02:20 AM

dude, all of that switching and re-writing doesn't serve anything. I think it was dirty that saved a screenshot but I just looked at the cache and all of your old information still shows up. Nice try, not sure what the point was though.

KenP 07-24-2005 02:40 AM

Damn ****-hand, Zeb, rock chucking, Roman Candle.

Run sand flea, run back to your cave.

DRTYFN 07-24-2005 02:49 AM

I wish we had some kind of troll section where all of the troll annihilations could be displayed- sort of like a "newbie trolls must read this first" section. That way they could learn from previous troll skinnings and maybe come in with something new so this wouldn't be so formulaic. I mean, seriously, how many times have we seen them start off as an ass, get themselves owned repeatedly, then change their names? 30? 40? It's like they all have the same slow-witted Johnny Appleseed daddy.

But at least magi115 is going to be the funniest final ownage. Probably going to cost him his job and his soon-to-be former company a client or two. I wonder if dip**** magi115 even had any inkling why I was preserving all of his posts? It's going to look so nice pointing out what a bad boy he's been and then providing links in the emails. This will be a most amusing troll BBQ.

Let's see, what's the number? 212...
