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

The staggered bore sizes (1.62" outer, 1.30" inner) are designed to create a more balanced hydraulic pressure distribution across the brake pad. This helps ensure more even pad wear and can contribute to improved stopping power and feel.

What thickness of brake disc is this caliper designed for?

This Aero6-DM-L/H caliper is designed to work with brake discs that are 1.30 inches thick. It's important to ensure your rotor thickness matches this specification for proper caliper function.

Does this caliper come with brake pads or mounting hardware?

This product listing is for the Wilwood Aero6-DM-L/H caliper itself. Brake pads, mounting hardware, and brake lines are typically sold separately and should be chosen based on your specific vehicle and braking system requirements.

Product Details

The Aero6-DM-L/H caliper utilizes a forged aluminum body, a well-built choice for demanding braking applications. This caliper is designed with six pistons, featuring a staggered bore size of 1.62 inches for the outer pistons and 1.30 inches for the inner pistons. This specific bore sizing is crucial for generating balanced hydraulic pressure across the brake pad surface, leading to more even wear and improved stopping performance. The caliper is finished in a vibrant red powder coat, offering both a striking visual appeal and a layer of protection against corrosion and road debris.

Wilwood calipers are known for their robust construction and performance-oriented design. The Aero6-DM-L/H is engineered to work with brake discs ranging from 1.30 inches thick, allowing for a wide range of fitment possibilities depending on your vehicle's setup. The caliper body is forged from aerospace-grade aluminum, which provides a strong yet lightweight housing for the pistons. This caliper is a component of a larger braking system, and its effectiveness is maximized when paired with appropriate rotors, pads, and brake lines. It's important to ensure compatibility with your specific vehicle's brake system before installation.

This caliper is sold individually, and it's important to note that it is typically used in pairs for the front axle of a vehicle. When planning your brake system upgrade, consider that you will likely need two of these calipers for proper front brake function. Always refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions and consult with a qualified mechanic to ensure correct fitment and safe operation for your specific application.
