Has anyone had problems with the Wilwood Dynalite II 4 Piston calipers??? specifically anyone who bought the fastbrakes setup???
I am having problems with the bleeder screws leaking and stripping and during hard stops something is rubbing on both sides identically ..not sure if it is the caliper on the rotor, which was a problem during installation....Everything worked great when in the air on jackstands, but once on the street it seems like everytime i do a hard or long stop....something starts rubbing, maybe the caliper locks up *** of the leaky bleeder screws i dunno....
Brake experts____clue me in I officially give up...LOL
ThaNX!!

None of mine leak (as in drip) but they do seem to stay a little damp looking. If yours are actually dripping then you need to call Brain at fastbrakes and get some parts. If you have a stripped bleeder I have been told you can put a bolt in the downward facing ones and rotate them to the top. I would call brain to confirm this.

Racing brake pads are noisy and dusty. That is the way they are. http://www.wilwood.com/faq.asp#question20. What problem did you have during installation? Mine clunk a little especially after going from reverse to forward and vice versa. This is the pads shifting around in the calipers. A little noise from racing calipers is to be expected. If the fluid is leaking onto the pad then you need to fix the leak and then rebed the pads or they may be ruined and need replacing.

Yeah you are right.. after investigating i think i need to adjust the free play on the pedal, because it has none literally...LOL(did the Altima Master Cylinder soo...)
Because they lock up when they get really hot...long braking/hard braking and then once they cool everything is fine..so yeah ill try that and that should be good to go..as far as the bleed screws its the bottom one that leaks and you would be amazed how hard it is to find a cap screw in 10mm X 1.0 theres 10mm X 1.25 all day long..LOL but yeah i will call brian and just get whole new ones clean the threads in the caliper actually remove it and rebleed, which will require more motul..LOL and that should do it if not i will blow everyhting up..LOL Thanks for the input!!
