Noticing that the nickle plated calipers look like they are 6 piston…….has the three round puck shapes on the side, but actually only had four pistons…….hmmmm. 6 pistons look awesome, but i’m ethically opposed to misleading design. now your just getting into car fashion at that point.
That being said, Wilwood is awesome and i’m kinda tired of everyone saying Brembo this and that, Bremmmboooo. its fun to say, but brakes are really simple mechanically. Glad to see Wilwood get more street cred.
I like these some what “technical” topics and videos…..hope more to come.
You may have a lot of catching up to do.
Wilwood offers many calipers built from the same body shape that can be had with 4 or6 pistons. First some sanctioning bodies require a 4 piston caliper, like the SCCA A-sedan. Second, this allows us to offer matching front and rear calipers with the appropriate piston area.
