Now that the 2019's are out, the fronts have six piston front calipers, might what to look into those for a budget build with parts availability for a long time. 

After driving the ‘19 denali ultimate, I thought for sure my ‘14 had slightly better brakes.

 

But the truck only had 90 miles on it and I didn’t try any full on braking. Not sure if that played a factor. But for general street driven braking I thought the ‘14 was a little stronger.

Agreed. Im Just saying if i only seen the kit on the front that would bug me not having it look all the same.

My guess is they're no differant thanstock. Still the same size.  But the red adds 10hp

I'm already lifted, and yes, it would not look right to me either.

There also is not a requirement to do front and rear with Wilwood's. For those with or without 20's you can just do the fronts. Brembo only works with 20+ inch wheels.

not really....  you'll create uneven brake distribution with a kit on the front and stock on the rear... to do it right you get both.

My point was Wilwood sells the brakes per axle. The price comparison was being made as if you had to purchase both front and rear but it isn't required. GM sells front only Brembo kits so to make a fair comparison you should consider just the Wilwood front axle price.

Thanks Red.

 

How do you know these will fit the 2019?  i have yet to find a company that acutally lists the 2019 under offical fitment.

 

Respectfully, stoptech is close to the bottom with Wilwood.    Their "painted" calipers are among the most sensitive to heat and brake fluid than any other company.. they're custom service deperart, lead by VP of sales Mark Cornwell is incompetent and out of touch.    Company is a mess.

 

Brembo is one of the few companies that really stands behind their product.  I've owned many many sets from these 3 companies...     I would never buy a stop tech product again after some of the shit i went through on a 8500 trophy setup on my e46 M3.

 

380mm kit for such a large truck also doesnt work for me....   cost savings move on their end.

I don't know if they'll fit a '19. I do know there are some very fast Miatas, like faster than Porsche GT3 fast, running the Stoptech BBK with excellent results. Maybe they've improved since you last tried them? I would definitely try Stoptechs before Wilwood. I no longer  have 20" wheels on my truck so Brembos aren't an option. Realistically I'll upgrade pads first and see how they do.

The performance of their kits is on par with their price point.

 

the shortcomings are in the caliper design and build quality.  Additionally, they have very poor customer service and will fight every issues... and this goes to the top.  I got in it pretty good with their VP of sales on my fuked up kit.  It was a custom $8500 kit where all four calipers failed after 1500 miles. 

 

The build quality is average at best and the company doesn’t stand behind their products.

 

performance isn’t really a major issue, Miatas don’t weight much.. guys prob did the kits more

for rotational mass

      Can ask that about a lot of places.   Holiday sells 91 for $1 over 87 octane. BP 93 is 80 cents. Amoco 93 is 80 cents Kwik Trips is $1.20 for 92 or whatever they have and $1 for the 91.   I know that this is not exactly same as what you are saying with the premium to premium debate of those two stations but why is there such a difference. Top Tier this and that, it's all BS. All the fuel comes from the same damn refinery, so give me a break.

      Why does Mobil Premium cost 90 cents a gallon more than Shell Premium when their regular offerings are but pennies apart?

      Was all the way down to $3.69 a gallon but then jumped back to $3.99 just because for some reason.   Diesel floats between $4.80's to $5.10ish a gallon. I even saw Diesel #1 for $6.09 today but nobody in there right mind even buys that in the summer.

      OTA updates and radio still cuts out

      Mine just keeps lagging or getting stuck on the reverse camera. When I turn off the truck, get out, and close the door it will still stay on. It’s very intermittent and I would not be able to duplicate the issue.

      Gas Prices

      I was checking out fuel prices at my farm fuel retailer at their pumps and yes the farm price is a bit lower than the non dyed fuel and was glad to see that the regular farm gas price has dropped a lot from what it had been but what blew me away was the price of diesel as the spread now compared to before the prices went up earlier in the year, diesel was actually slightly lower than gas which was a switch from the theme the last number of years. However that sure isn't the theme lately and definitely not right now. The prices I will post are not from that retailer but just looking at gasbuddy for the main city in this area and instead of posting the lowest price someone found I will list the higher price ( and that may not be the highest price, just whatever someone posted on gasbuddy ).   So regular gas and there are a lot of stations listing the same price for regular is 1.68 a liter, premium 2.00 a liter. Diesel 2.03 a liter for a top price I saw on diesel.   Figures out to 6.36 a us gallon Canadian funds for regular and 7.68 for diesel. With the US exchange rate it would be 4.58 us for regular and 5.53 for diesel.    Thought I would figure that out to get a picture of what it settles out like compared to various US prices and its about the same as the current price in Fairbanks AK as Anchorage tends to be lower. So yes, these would be the prices and higher along the way on the Alaska highway where they know they have a captured market !, for fuel prices for those beginning the long drive back to the lower 48   The problem is our Canadian dollar and going to the states that have the high prices, boy do we pay then !
