Billet Superlite 6 Piston SL6 Calipers
SL6
calipers are pure performance featuring a fully CNC machined billet
body with closed end bridges and a reinforced bridge to body transition.
Center bridge body bolts provide additional strength and positive
retention of the pads. These elements combine as an ultra-rigid
body that resists separation and deflection under high load. Driver
comfort and confidence soar with immediate response from a very
firm pedal. The SL6 generates high clamping force and balanced pad
loading from a race-proven differential bore six-piston configuration.
Staggered piston sizes distribute pressure to compensate for the
natural variances in temperature, load, and wear rate that occur
over the length of the pad. Pad life is extended and performance
is measurably improved. Stainless steel pistons are used in all
custom show and sport performance applications for their low heat
transfer properties and high resistance to corrosion. High temperature,
square faced piston seals provide long service life in extreme environments
with positive piston retraction on release. Stainless steel SRS
bridge wear plates eliminate pad gouging and extend the service
life of the caliper. The spring-loaded action of the SRS plates
also eliminates pad rattle and dampens the vibration harmonics that
contribute to pad squeal. Fluid tubes are dampened to eliminate
vibration stress and recess mounted for protection from track debris.
SL6 calipers bear Wilwood's signature and a high luster black anodized
finish in a style that will catch the eye and win the favor of the
most discriminating enthusiast.
Forged Billet Aluminum Hubs
Forged aluminum
hubs are unmatched for strength and weight savings. Premium grade
alloy billets are forged into shape under high heat and pressure,
then CNC machined for precise fit on each spindle application. Hubs
are complete with bearing races installed and shipped with new bearings,
grease seals, screw-on billet aluminum hub caps and 1/2-20 RH grade
8 wheel lug studs.
GT Series Rotor Hats
GT aluminum hats are
lightweight and strong to handle the exceptional brake torque generated
by the SL6 Big Brake system. The hats are specially designed for
use with the forged aluminum hubs. Wilwood's signature appears on
a high luster black anodized finish that prevents corrosion and
enhances the overall appearance of the complete package inside the
wheel.
SRP or GT Series 13" Rotors
Large diameter
vented iron rotors provide substantial increases in cooling and
stopping power over small diameter OE rotors. All Wilwood rotors
are manufactured from premium grade, long grain carbon iron to provide
long wear with high thermal stability and resistance to distortion.
The superior heat absorption and dissipation qualities of a vented
iron rotor are essential to preventing heat fade and realizing the
longest service life from the pads and rotors. For custom, show,
and high performance sport driving, SRP rotor kits offer the high-tech
look and improved performance of a directional cross-drill and face
slot pattern. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, the venting
and cleaning action of the holes and slots will reduce pad glaze,
dissipate surface heat, and minimize irregular pad build-up on the
rotor faces. The results are smoother engagement with improved consistency
and response at the pedal. Every SRP rotor is treated with a silver
zinc wash to reduce corrosion on the areas of the rotor not kept
clean by pad contact. GT rotor kits feature Wilwood's ultimate competition
rotor with full detail machining, asymmetrical face slotting and
individual dynamic balancing. GT rotors run true and vibration free
with extended rotor life and pad wear on applications subject to
higher sustained operating temperatures.
PolyMatrix Brake Pads
PolyMatrix brake pads
get fast response with high resistance to fade, long wear, and the
low rotor abrasion that PolyMatrix is so well known for. Specific
pad types and compounds have been selected for each application
and are listed in the service parts guide for each kit. |
