Yo dude, what's new?
Caliper kit for MINI R56 and R53! TCE is please to announce show off its all new caliper kit for late model MINIs and those older cars with JCW brand brakes. The new Wilwood DP6 caliper gets a new home and your MINI a new look! The DP6 is an all new differential bore design caliper with very low clearance requirements for oem wheels. Check out the MINI page for more details.
TCE EXCLUSIVE! POLYMATRIX D & H pads for DP Calipers! TCE has a limited supply of Polymatrix D compound pads for conventional DynaPro kit owners. The Poly D pad is a superior pad for Autocrossing as it combines a medium friction level with low to medium temperature requirements- exactly what you want to go pound the cones! Just added; we will also have a limited supply of Poly H pads made to order for those who have requested them. The H compound is extremely popular in our larger 13" kits but was not available for the DP until now. See the pad age in Products above for pricing.
Coming soon: New 350Z/G35 kits! TCE will be offering both complete W6a front caliper kits for retro fitting existing Wilwood factory kits as well as complete new TCE 14" kit. See the details on the 350Z page.
NEW HATS: Begining in April there's a new look to many TCE kits. All 13" kits using our in house billet aluminum hats will now be 12 bolt and a full one inch larger in diameter. This new hat is also a pillar design thus allowing proper air flow to the outer friction surface of the rotor. While a long time coming it was time to move from the traditional 8 bolt hat which has served TCE kits well for many years. With less and less kits being produced under 13" it was time. The 8 bolt hat is still available and will be used on 12.2" and smaller application as before. The new 12 bolt hat will address the visual look associated with use on 13" rotors of unswept area and allow for a slight reduction in rotor weight. Clearly these are all beneficial elements to your purchase and enhance the overall performance of your big brake kit. Rotors will remain available for both hats for many years.
Out of shop notice: May 10-21st once again working for Ford Motor Company's "Driving Skills for Life" where spend time teaching car handling and control to young drivers in hopes of saving lives and making the streets safer for them and everyone. Please be patient, I'll do my best to return calls and email.
International Order Handling charge: Begining May 1st all International orders, including Canada, will be charged a flat $40 handling/processing fee. Way too much time is now spent on paperwork, follow up, emails and faxes to satisify the needs of International orders. This fee will be charged regardless of the order amount. If it does not make sense to pay it for a $70 set of brake pads then please support your local dealers rather than order from this side of the border. The current situation must change.
