Description

Serious brake performance, awesome looks! Perfect for the street rod or resto-mod C1 Corvette. Wilwood's Dynalite disc brake upgrades feature a forged billet caliper and SRP rotors designed for a no modification installation. Front brake conversion kits include Dynalite forged aluminum calipers, new replacement hub assembly, wheel bearings, 2-piece design brake rotor and all the mount hardware and brackets necessary to complete the installation.

Forged Dynalites are the strongest calipers in the class; the process of stress-flow forging re-aligns the metal's grain structure within the contour of the caliper body. Structural deflection and volume displacement tests have proven the Forged Dynalite outperforms all existing styles of this popular caliper size. Without even considering the overall greater strength and reliability of the forging, the reduced deflection tendencies and the resulting decrease in fluid volume displacement translate to increased clamping efficiency with less pedal travel. The bottom line is a taller pedal and better stopping power.

The superior strength of this innovative design is combined with the proven performance features from Wilwood's earlier designs. Each caliper features SRS stainless steel bridge plates to eliminate bridge wear caused by pad gouging while eliminating pad rattle and dampens the vibration harmonics that contribute to squeal under braking. In addition, high-temperature seals and stainless steel pistons eliminate corrosion and retard heat transfer from the pads. Internal fluid passages eliminate the need for external tubes. Four corner bleed screws assure simple and effective air evacuation from the system and allow one caliper to be mounted in any front, rear, right or left position. Standard calipers feature Wilwood's signature bright black or red anodized finish to resist corrosion and maintain their high-tech style.

Forged Dynalite uses the same 7112 type brake pad used in all earlier versions of this caliper. The full range of Wilwood pad compounds is available to match brake response and heat range to any application.

Forged Billet Aluminum Vented Rotor Offset Hubs are made from premium grade alloy billets forged into shape under high heat and pressure, then CNC machined for precise fit on each spindle application. Hubs include bearing races and screw-on aluminum caps.

Ultra-Light ULHP-32 straight vane rotors provide an excellent balance of efficient cooling and lower rotating mass on hard braking dirt tracks or rear axle service on pavement cars. UL rotors are cast from premium grade, long grain carbon iron for long wear, high thermal stability, and resistance to distortion. ULHP-32 rotors offered the added performance and smoother operation of precision turned faces with less than .001" variation in flatness, parallelism, or run-out.

Note: 11" rotor kits provide ample clearance for most 15" wheels (plus a few 14" disc brake steel wheels) while the 12" rotors fit nicely under both 15" and 16" wheels combinations. Calipers available in black or red; specify color when ordering.
