Benefits:
Fixed calipers by Wilwood offer unmatched stopping power. The pistons in fixed calipers are located on both sides of the disc, allowing for evenly distributed clamping force. They apply more squeezing power and apply it more evenly during braking as force is directly applied to both sides. This kit is totally compatible with OE master cylinder output and stock ABS system. A complete package includes AERO6 six piston radial mount calipers together with BP-20 Smart Pad compound brake pads which give your vehicle heave duty stopping power when braking on the road or track. AERO6 calipers feature forged triple bridge body design ensuring fast pedal response. Brake pads provide low noise and dust levels as well as enhanced friction and wear resistance for both street and sport driving applications. This combination of components guarantees long service life and reliable performance under any conditions. Caliper finishes are available if you want to add a customized look to your stock or custom wheels.
Multi-piston calipers allow for more even braking and, as a result, less pad distortion. The more number of pistons a caliper has, the more clamping force it provides. Thanks to the evenly distributed pressure, these calipers ensure an even wear pattern along the entire length of the brake pad. Usually these calipers have smaller diameter pistons than single-piston calipers.
