Re: Wilwood Problems

I think one of the problems with the Wilwood setup is not so much Wilwoods problem but the fact that the Nissan Hub is not machined very accurately. If you look at a floating calliper it can have a lot of play and find the center of the rotor very easily. Even if the ears on the hub are not perfectly square it does not effect the ability of the caliper to square itself back up due to all the slop in the system. Wilwoods have zero ability to float so you need to insure that the caliper is actually square to the rotor. You can see (by looking thru the area the pads sit) it if you have a problem. If you do you can get taper wear inside the cylinders of the caliper. Even all squared up the calipers do not have the ability to run forever with out bleeding them every once in a while. I need to bleed mine about every 6 months to keep a nice firm pedal. When I am doing track events its not a issue because I bleed before most events anyway.
