Wilwood Caliper-Aero6-L/H - Anodized 1.75/1.62in Pistons 1.25in Disc

This is the Wilwood Aero6-L/H caliper, part number 120-17459. It's a high-performance braking component designed for serious enthusiasts looking to upgrade their vehicle's stopping power. The Aero6-L/H caliper is built around a robust six-piston design, utilizing staggered piston sizes of 1.75 inches and 1.62 inches. This configuration helps to distribute braking force evenly across the pad, leading to more consistent performance and reduced pad taper wear.

Constructed from forged aluminum, this caliper is both strong and lightweight, which is crucial for reducing unsprung mass and improving overall vehicle dynamics. The caliper body is anodized for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance, ensuring it holds up under demanding conditions. It's designed to work with brake discs that are 1.25 inches thick, offering a substantial platform for heat dissipation and fade resistance during aggressive braking events. The caliper features internal fluid ports, contributing to a cleaner installation and a more streamlined look.

When considering a brake upgrade of this caliber, it's important to ensure compatibility with your existing brake system or a planned big brake kit. This caliper is often used as part of a larger system, so you'll want to confirm it pairs correctly with your chosen rotors, brake lines, and master cylinder to achieve optimal braking performance. Wilwood is known for its performance braking components, and this Aero6-L/H caliper represents their commitment to providing well-built parts for vehicles that require enhanced stopping capability.
