Offline | I had considered helping out this fella but the shipping costs overseas is just 'out of sight' compared to buying local if one can. I'm reasonably certain that Wilwood has a dealer over there too. They would likely bring in this kit in quantity with other parts and be able to offer it for a decent price. Shipping it from here would probably run $175-200 and that's IF it can go in ONE box....weight limits really hurt shipping on this type of product. Best wishes on it. Todd/TCE |

Offline | I have just checked with the vender in H.K. the price is HK9000 indeed, however they offer something of their own. It is not the same as the Wilwood factory kit, it is their own custom kit which consist of Wilwood caliper/12.19" Slot disc, EBC Red Stuff pads, Goodridge lines and ATE fluid. Anyone know any other vender in HK that have the Wilwood factory kit? Thanks |

Offline | From one who's been up one side of this project to the other...the caliper being uses is PROBABLY the Dynalite. While it a fine, compact caliper it's not the part that the Factory DynaPro is. I'll take a stab at it and say that it is cheaper. And there is a reason; lighter construction and much thinner brake pads. Just some info, not a bad part. Be sure you compare apples to apples or know why it's apple and oranges. Todd/TCE |

Offline | Thanks Todd TCE. I think I have my decision made now , the Wilwood factory 11.75" Dynapro kit. Do you know if it will take other brands pads at all eg. Ferodo? Which rear break pads should I use with the Dynapro kit?Thanks |

Offline | . Currently the DP caliper pad is exclusive. However....the same pads that fit the NDL can be made to work. You can pull up the pad profiles on Wilwood.com and see what I mean. Currently there are only three pads for the DP; Poly A, E, and Q. The pads for the NDL can be had by a number of pad makers. Run the Q on the street, and the E in modest competition. The A is great but will eat rotors in a hurry if you don't run them hot enough. For the rears, a mild street/performance pad is all you need or can use anyhow. Avoid high torque pads back there as you may find they offer too much bite unless paired with a pad like the A on the front. Good luck, hope this info has been helpfull to you. Support your local dealer! Todd/TCE |
