What is the advantage of staggered piston sizes in this caliper?

The staggered piston sizes, with one larger 1.75-inch piston and two smaller 1.62-inch pistons, are engineered to work with a specific rotor thickness. This design helps to distribute brake force evenly across the brake pad and rotor surface, promoting consistent and effective braking.

Does this caliper come with brake pads and mounting hardware?

This listing is for the Wilwood AERO6-DS brake caliper only. Brake pads and mounting hardware are typically sold separately and should be chosen based on your specific application and performance needs. Always refer to the manufacturer's documentation for a complete list of included items.

What type of brake fluid should I use with this caliper?

Wilwood calipers are designed to be used with high-temperature DOT 3 or DOT 4 brake fluid. It is crucial to use a fluid with a high dry boiling point to prevent brake fade under heavy use. Always consult the caliper's installation manual for the manufacturer's specific recommendations.

Product Details

This Wilwood AERO6-DS caliper uses a unique combination of piston sizes: a large 1.75-inch piston paired with two smaller 1.62-inch pistons. This staggered piston arrangement is specifically chosen to work with a 1.25-inch thick rotor, helping to balance brake force and ensure consistent pad engagement across the rotor surface. The caliper body itself is constructed from forged aluminum, a strong yet lightweight material that helps dissipate heat effectively under demanding braking conditions. This particular caliper is designed for the right-hand side of your vehicle and comes finished in a vibrant red powder coat for a clean, performance-oriented look.

The AERO6-DS designation indicates that this caliper is equipped with dust seals, which help protect the pistons and seals from road debris and moisture, extending the caliper's service life. The forged aluminum construction not only contributes to its strength but also allows for intricate internal porting and a robust exterior design. Wilwood calipers are known for their ability to handle high temperatures and provide reliable stopping power, making them a popular choice for performance builds where consistent braking performance is critical. This caliper is designed to be a direct replacement for specific applications, but it's always a good idea to verify compatibility with your existing brake system components.

When installing a high-performance caliper like this, it's important to ensure your entire brake system is up to the task. This includes matching it with appropriate rotors, brake pads, and brake lines. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding mounting hardware and brake fluid requirements to ensure optimal performance and safety.
