Wilwood 1.75/1.62/1.62 AERO6-DS Caliper 1.25

This is the Wilwood 1.75/1.62/1.62 AERO6-DS caliper, designed for use with 1.25-inch thick rotors. It features a staggered piston arrangement with a 1.75-inch piston and two 1.62-inch pistons, offering a balanced application of force for improved braking performance. The AERO6-DS designation indicates it includes dust seals, which help protect the caliper internals from road debris and moisture, contributing to longer service life and consistent operation, especially in varied conditions. This caliper is a right-hand side unit, intended for the passenger side of the vehicle.

Wilwood calipers are well-known in the performance braking world for their robust construction and effective designs. The AERO6-DS caliper is machined from forged aluminum, a strong yet lightweight material that helps reduce unsprung weight, which can positively impact vehicle handling. The anodized finish not only looks sharp but also provides a layer of corrosion resistance. This caliper is built to work with Wilwood's specific brake systems, and it's important to ensure compatibility with your rotor size and mounting bracket setup. The staggered piston sizes are engineered to work with specific rotor thicknesses and pad compounds to optimize braking force and even pad wear.

When installing performance calipers like these, it's crucial to follow the manufacturer's guidelines for proper fitment and assembly. Ensure you have the correct mounting brackets for your specific application, as these calipers are not a direct bolt-on replacement for stock calipers without the proper adapter. Using the correct brake fluid and bleeding the system thoroughly after installation are also key steps to achieving optimal braking performance and safety. This caliper is sold individually, so you'll need to purchase the correct quantity and side for your vehicle.
