Upgraded 4 Piston Calipers
Brake calipers are an essential component of your overall brake system, and the piston is the key component of the brake caliper. Pistons are responsible for forcing the brake pads to make contact with the brake rotor to bring your vehicle to a stop. The pistons of the calipers work by applying hydraulic force from both sides of the caliper. Once the brake pedal is pressed, it forces the brake fluid to flow through to the caliper. The pistons then move outward and make contact with the brake pads which then stops your vehicle by creating friction between the brake pads and rotor. With this kit, you get a huge upgrade in Calipers by having 4 pistons.
Competiton Proven 13.5" Brake Rotors & Hats
The Wilwood Rotors are made from domestic grade laser cut mild steel plate th CNC machined with their unique slot pattern. Wilwood's slot pattern is optimized for achieving excellent pad wear. The massive 13.5" diameter is the key for superior Ultra4 & Off Road stopping power at both high and low speeds.
To clear the diameter of this rotor, a 17"+ wheel is required.
Precision Cut Bolt-On Brackets
The Caliper Brackets are precision laser cut from 3/8" High Strength Plate Steel. We chose to laser cut our fabrication parts because laser cutting tends to be much more precise and consistant than other cutting methods available. They were also designed to be Bolt-On Caliper Brackets to make it extremely easy to install this kit onto your vehicle.
