Product Details

If you're building a high-performance braking system for your vehicle, a strong set of calipers is essential. The Wilwood GN6R forged aluminum six-piston radial mount caliper represents an updated design that brings advanced materials and manufacturing to a well-known icon in Wilwood's caliper lineup. This caliper is designed for use with rotors ranging from 12.19 to 13.06 inches in diameter and can accommodate rotor thicknesses from 1.25 to 1.38 inches. The specific model you're looking at is set up for brake pads that are .80 inches thick, and it features a staggered piston arrangement: one 1.75-inch piston and two 1.38-inch pistons on each side for balanced braking force.

The body of this caliper is made from high-strength forged aluminum, which offers a great balance of strength and light weight. This particular version comes in a durable black anodized finish. Anodizing not only looks sharp but also adds a layer of corrosion resistance, helping to keep your calipers looking good and performing well over time. Inside, this caliper uses stainless steel pistons, which are known for their durability and resistance to heat fade. This caliper is designed to replace previous Grand National caliper models using specific bracket kits, ensuring a straightforward integration into many performance brake setups.

When planning your brake upgrade, remember that calipers are just one part of the system. You'll need to ensure you have compatible rotors, pads, and brake lines. This Wilwood GN6R caliper is a solid option for anyone looking to significantly improve their vehicle's stopping power and heat management for demanding driving conditions.
