Wilwood 120-16070 DynaPro Single Billet Brake Caliper VW Beetle Karmann Ghia

The Wilwood DynaPro Single-VW (DPS-VW) billet caliper represents the latest generation of high-performance brake calipers, engineered as a direct upgrade or replacement for applications previously using ATE OE 2-piston calipers found on 1967-1978 Volkswagen Beetle and Karmann Ghia models. These calipers deliver superior strength, reduced weight, and enhanced performance characteristics that surpass traditional OE replacement options.

Advanced Billet Construction:

• Fully CNC machined from premium-grade aluminum alloy billet for maximum strength-to-weight ratio
• FEA-optimized body design with fortified transitions between piston housings and bridges
• Reinforced critical stress areas resist deflection and body separation under heavy braking loads
• Reduced overall deflection minimizes fluid volume displacement for improved clamping efficiency and shorter pedal travel

High-Performance Piston Design:

• 1.62-inch (41mm) bore heavy-wall stainless steel pistons resist corrosion and reduce heat transfer from brake pads
• Heavy-wall sectional thickness eliminates piston backside deflection for firmer pedal feel
• Enhanced overall clamping efficiency through improved structural rigidity

Innovative SRS Bridge Plate System:

• Replaceable stainless steel SRS (Stainless Rattle Spring) bridge plates eliminate bridge wear from pad gouging
• Spring-loading action eliminates pad rattle and dampens vibration harmonics that contribute to brake squeal
• Easy serviceability with replaceable wear components

Versatile Mounting Configuration:

• Internal fluid passages and four-corner bleed screw design
• Allows mounting in any front, rear, left, or right-side position for maximum flexibility

This lightweight, high-strength caliper delivers race-proven performance and durability for street and performance applications on classic Volkswagen platforms.
