Let’s begin by saying that disc brakes are most frequently considered to be paramount to drum brakes and there are a multitude of reasons for that and knowing these can aid you in your decision making process.

About Wilwood

You have come to this stop on the LMPERFORMANCE web site because you are in the market for new brakes and we are here to help you decide on those brakes. Let’s begin by saying that disc brakes are most frequently considered to be paramount to drum brakes and there are a multitude of reasons for that and knowing these can aid you in your decision making process.

Let’s start by examining one of the most important aspects of the disc brake system if not the most important and that is the increased safety resulting from the fact that the disc brake system has better stopping power than the drum brake system. When the brake pad grabs the rotor, it creates friction, which creates heat but if the brake rotor is slippery it becomes difficult for the brake pads to grab. However, the configuration of the disc brake system is such that it has holes drilled on the brake rotor making it easier for heat, gas and water to dissipate and be quickly moved away from the rotor surface thus providing better performance.

A brake rotor that is wet becomes slippery and consequently this makes it difficult for the brake pads to grab. However, disc brakes provide optimum performance in wet weather because they do not collect water on the brake disc the way drum brakes do.

Another big advantage of disc brakes is their ability to generate and transfer greater amounts of heat to the atmosphere resulting from the fact that the friction area of a rotor is exposed to air thus cooling is more expeditious than it is on a drum brake.

The disc brake system’s ability to be examined without removing the wheel results in a savings of both time and money and disc brakes are completely self=adjusting. And under excessive usage, such as repeated hard stops or riding the brakes down a long incline disc brakes take longer to lose their effectiveness.

Now let’s take a look at the company manufacturing the disc brakes and one worth your consideration is one that has been in the business of designing and manufacturing high performance disc brake systems since 1977, WILWOOD ENGINEERING. Having been in the disc brake business for this extensive period of time has afforded WILWOOD the opportunity to develop a substantial matrix of brake components and engineering techniques. The company has the capacity to create custom engineered brake systems by utilizing a combination of off-the-shelf and custom components. They have expertise in the designing and manufacturing of brake systems for all types of motorsports as well as a multiplicity of other applications.

WILWOOD is able to accomplish all of this because they have on-shelf stock of more than 300 different brake calipers, 200 rotor designs, 100 master cylinder designs and a wide assortment of brackets, fittings, valves and brake lines. In addition WILWOOD engineers use state-of-the-art computer aided design and manufacturing techniques nd finite element analysis, dynamic test and cycle test equipment, to find high-performance and reliability solutions for the most difficult braking tasks. WILWOOD’s extensive inventory of proprietary on-the-shelf components affords them the opportunity of providing the customer with cost-effective solutions for unique brake applications.

An American company with headquarters in Camarillo, California, WILWOOD ENGINEERING is a company you can trust for your brake needs all proven by their long history of success and the fact that WILWOOD is ISO 9000 compliant and has extensive experience maintaining quality levels of 100 ppm or less for original equipment manufacturers.

These are some of the items you can find at LMPerformance for your Acura

If you are adding a body kit to your Acura CL Integra, NSX, RSX, TL OR TSX for aesthetic reasons only then you have a varied range of materials to choose from but if you are doing it to improve performance then aerodynamics is one of the most important deciding factors. Late Model Performance offers you body kits specific to your Acura CL, Integra, NSX, RSX, LT or TSX. The DURAFLEX brand by the transcendent manufacturer Extreme Dimensions took the fiberglass market by storm with the DURAFLEX aerodynamics by a marriage of fiberglass, plastic, and flex resins to obtain sui generis features allowing DURAFLEX aero parts a much higher durability rate than the average fiberglass product and the primer finish helps you get that paint job done faster and with outstanding results. We also can supply you with the DURAFLEX Bumper (Front), Bumper (Rear) and Side Skirts if you do not need a full body kit at this time.

Upgrading your shocks imparts a miscellany of advantages, ranging from better vehicle stability, to improved control, and in some cases, a smoother ride and a working set of shocks propitiously lessens the wear on your suspension, wheels and tires. The shocks on your Acura are formulated for improved drivability, control, and vehicle stability, but these conditions are terrain-dependent. KONI, the preeminent manufacturer of performance shocks in the world knows this and as a result developed a potpourri of shocks to meet your needs whether it be everyday driving or in situations requiring greater impact dampening - such as racing or off road driving. There are three choices for your Acura: the Street Orange Shock is totally new and is individually tailored and engineered to give your car that KONI sports feel with improved handling and less roll; the Sport Yellow Shock serves Sporting Drivers focusing on road holding and handling, h a reasonable level of driving comfort and usable with spring kits to lower a vehicle up to 35mm; and the FSD Gold shock absorbers; a smart suspension system adjusting automatically to road conditions as well as driving style. Learn which KONI shock is ideal for your model Acura and driving style by using the drop down lists on our web site.

A slipping, sticking or stiff clutch in your Acura or a slipping in your drag vehicle may mean it is time for a change to a Performance Clutch by the inimitable SPEC. Their street high performance and racing clutches and flywheels are manufactured in multitudinous Clutch Kits, from street kit Stage 1,2,2+, 3, and 3+ to Race Kits Stage 4 and 5 and the SPEC Super Twin with TQ ratings of over 1500 FT TQ! The Stage 1 is primo for Street, Drag, Drift, Road Race, Rally, Pulling, Autocross; the Stage 2, 2+, 3, 3+, 4 and 5 can be used for Street, Drag, Pulling, and Autocross; the Super Twin is beneficial in all types of driving; and the Mini Twin is serviceable in limited street, drag, drift, road racing, time attack, pulling and rally driving. Since performance clutches typically involve heavier springs and different disc materials they result in a clutch with more clamping force, meaning more torque can be transmitted without the clutch slipping, and the clutch will be much more likely to grab under aggressive shifting or clutch dumping - perfect for racing and off-road. Because SPEC billet flywheels are manufactured to .001 machine tolerance that, guaranteeing a flat seating surface for the clutch and smooth rotational qualities for perfect balance and extended engine life and they are constructed from only the highest quality steel and aluminum. Quicker revs, more horsepower and increased engine reliability are a result of installing stock appearing aluminum pressure plates. With the SPEC Super Clamp pressure plate, you can expect a 50-60% increase in clamp load above and beyond the increase offered by the standard high clamp pressure plate

Aftermarket performance exhausts create a quicker, more efficient path for exhaust gases to escape meaning your engine "breathes" better, so spent fuel and air exit the combustion chambers faster thus more fuel and air can be burned to create more power. The INVIDIA Exhaust for your Acura is a good balance of price and performance with a winning line-up of Exhaust Systems to choose from. Each INVIDIA Stainless Exhaust is constructed with high quality SUS304 Stainless Steel, CNC-machined flanges, and manufactured with a polished finish.
