Default Wilwood Brakes

I just got a killer deal on some Wilwood brakes. Wilwood 140-10790 D8-4 rear and Wilwood 140-10789 D8-4 front for $775. I just am afraid to share the details because not a supporting vendor.

I say put it out there. It’s not like your selling for them. If it’s against the rules the mods will let your know.

I've had them in my basket at TH motorsports for awhile now. $925 which was still the best deal I've found for them so far. I got an email from them with an ad for $75 off Wilwood brake kits with a coupon code so I figured Hey that will be $850 if it works so I put it in and bam $75 off each kit. $775 total so I pounced on it before it was gone. I hope they don't call me and tell me it was a mistake. The coupon code is 75offbrakes

They might have caught on. I tried it with the red D8-4 rear and D8-6 front but no discount. I'm anticipating a call or email any time saying there was a mistake.

I ordered a set too. They emailed me and said they were being drop shipped from Wilwood direct. I will wait and see.

Did you get the anodized ones for $775 or the painted ones? My email doesn't say anything about drop shipping, just an order confirmation. When I click on VIEW ORDER it takes me to a page showing my order with the status payment status paid and order status pending.

I got the anodized ones too. I sent them a emailing asking the status thinking they may say it was canceled etc but they said that it was being drop shipped and would update it with tracking once Wilwood shipped them.

Cool! I'm holding my breath. I know it is a mistake because the email with the coupon says "Save $75 on Wilwood Complete Brake Kits**" And the ** is "Complete kits consist of rotors, calipers and pads." Hopefully they honor it since it was their mistake but if not then we tried.

Just noticed they canceled my order. Saying no stock available. I just emailed them asking why I never got a email saying they were canceling my order and Wilwood has plenty of stock since they were drop shipping them.

Mine is still pending. I just sent an email asking for an update. I am not going to try to hold them to it. It was obviously a mistake but they could give me a little discount just for the trouble.
