Wilwood Caliper: SL6

The key to the superior performance of the SL6 comes from the extremely durable and efficient body design. It is the product of FEA computer solid modeling and stress analysis technology. Full length stiffening ribs and a reinforced radial transition from the piston bore housings to the closed end  
  bridges have produced the strongest caliper bodies ever built. When compared to open bridge calipers that use tube or stand spacers between the body halves, the closed end briddge design is measurable stronger with less separation or deflection under load. Additional strength and resistance to deflection comes from the four high-strength steel end bridge bolts. A fifth center bridge bolt provides even more overall strength and easy access to the pads without the need to remove the caliper from the mount.
A unique six-piston differential bore configuration provides balanced pad loading for even pad wear in sustained high heat environments. The standard SL6 calipers feature one-piece stainless steel pistons. Stainless is used for its slow heat transfer properties and high resistance to corrosion. The SL6/ST models feature Wilwood's exclusive Thermlock® pistons. This multi-part piston design creates a highly efficient thermal barrier to further reduce heat transfer from the pads to caliper body, seals, and fluid. Cooler temperatures translate to longer service life and less chance for heat induced pedal fade.

In addition, each SL-6 is equipped with SRS bridge plates. SRS plates eliminate all bridge wear caused by pad gauging and extend the service life of the caliper. The spring-loading action of the SRS plates also eliminates pad rattle and dampens the harmonic vibrations that contribute to pad squeal. Two piece bleed screws and dampened fluid tubes are recess mounted to shield them from track debris and other potential damage sources. High temperature, square faced bore seals provide the largest possible sealing area and controlled piston retraction on release. The full range of PolyMatrix pad compounds is available to match the brake response and heat range of any competition or sports driving application.
