: New Wilwood 2 Piston Replacment Calipers for Factory Disc Brakes
ProdigyCustoms Nov 9th, 09, 1:40 PM One of the coolest new products we found at SEMA this year is Wilwoods 2 piston replacement caliper for 1969 and newer single piston factory Disc Brakes. This 2 piston caliper comes in red and uses factory pads, and mounts to factory caliper bracket.
This is a great way to get improved stopping, and get that trick big brake look on a budget. They list for Only $330 a pair, I expect these to be huge sellers.
We have a batch of calipers on order and we are taking orders now.

ProdigyCustoms Nov 9th, 09, 4:39 PM No, uses factory pads. But certainly more clamping power and more even distribution.
mjdwyer23 Nov 9th, 09, 9:13 PM Cool, thanks.

72sbc427 Nov 16th, 09, 6:37 PM Great headsup!! Very curious to see if anyone does some real time tests with these. Not so much on total stopping distance, but more so with big cam/low vacuum motors.
cs40racing Nov 16th, 09, 8:14 PM You have Wilwood part numbers for these? Are they all aluminum?
ProdigyCustoms Nov 17th, 09, 12:35 PM Not so much on total stopping distance, but more so with big cam/low vacuum motors.
I do not expect any big difference in low vacuum situations. that is controlled by master cylinder size and inches of vacuum.
We are installing a set on a street drag car of ours that can use a little help. We use a manual 1" Bore master with factory front disc and rear drums. This will be a good test as it has to slow from 124MPH to 144MPH depending weather we spray it or not. Stay tuned
ProdigyCustoms Nov 17th, 09, 12:36 PM You have Wilwood part numbers for these? Are they all aluminum?
They are aluminum, no part numbers yet.

I do not have weights, but yes, there is a obvious weight difference. I could tell that without even having a original in my hand. I think the originals were made of lead, LOL!
Cameano Nov 18th, 09, 12:35 AM Frank, from the pics, do those have 2 pistons per side?
ProdigyCustoms Nov 18th, 09, 11:00 AM No, just 2 pistons on one side
Cameano Nov 18th, 09, 11:24 AM Ok, thanks. Might have to have a set of these soon. :yes:
Elcoman Nov 18th, 09, 12:43 PM I just told my GF what I want for Christmas.:D
