Wilwood have recently changed the disc ratings then as those screenshots I posted are from a few weeks ago and you know that Stewart as I sent you the pics when I first found out about the HD discs. It was one telephone conversation Stewart and it was hardly a "torrent of abuse" As I mentioned...

Here are the mounting brackets. You can see where the discs have been rubbing against them when warping with the heat but Stewart still wouldn't admit that the discs weren't man enough even after sending him these pictures.

It wasn't just the cracks. They were warping that much when hot that they were rubbing the mounting brackets that are around 2-3mm away from the disc! The shaking through the steering column was horrendous. It's probably pad deposits giving you judder. DS2500/3000 are notorious for it.

Wilwood make good kit. The calipers are very good and I love the feel and pedal modulation they give with the RC6 pads. I think the Ultralite discs are essentially designed for fast road. I don't think Stewart even knew about the uprated heavy duty discs until I mentioned them. He was happy...

I'm hoping the new discs will hold up. My friend has the same kit and also received the same poor level of customer service from Stewart. He has a 400 bhp DC2 and recently did a trip to the ring on the heavy duty discs and they were fine. I'm glad it's not just me who thinks the customer...

I am writing this post to share the problems I have had with the FreakyParts brake kit and the poor customer service I received from FreakyParts. FreakyParts is run by a guy called Stewart. He only lives 10 miles away from me and I have been using him for a few years now. Stewart works in IT so...
