Wilwood Brakes Superlite 6 Big Brake Front Hat Kits are
engineered for use in conjunction with OE front hubs on a variety
of competition, show, custom, and sport driving applications.
Billet Superlite 6 piston calipers, PolyMatrix brake pads, machined
aluminum hats, and 13'' GT directional vane rotors exemplify award
winning style and provide the ultimate in Big Brake stopping power.
Born from Wilwood's 25 year tradition of building championship
brake systems, SL6 Big Brake kits are the perfect compliment to
wheel, tire, and suspension equipment upgrades.
SL6 Calipers
SL6 calipers are pure performance featuring a fully CNC machined
billet body with closed end bridges and a reinforced bridge to body
transition. Center bridge body bolts provide additional strength
and positive retention of the pads. These elements combine as an
ultra-rigid body that resists separation and deflection under high
load. Driver comfort and confidence soar with immediate response
from a very firm pedal. The SL6 generates high clamping force and
balanced pad loading from a race-proven differential bore
six-piston configuration. Staggered piston sizes distribute
pressure to compensate for the natural variances in temperature,
load, and wear rate that occur over the length of the pad. Pad life
is extended and performance is measurably improved. Stainless steel
pistons are used in all custom show and sport performance
applications for their low heat transfer properties and resistance
to corrosion. Road race kits feature SL6/ST calipers with Thermlock
pistons for maximum heat protection in extreme heat environments.
High temperature, square faced piston seals provide long service
life in extreme environments with positive piston retraction on
release. Stainless steel SRS bridge wear plates eliminate pad
gouging and extend the service life of the caliper. The
spring-loaded action of the SRS plates also eliminates pad rattle
and dampens the vibration harmonics that contribute to pad squeal.
Fluid tubes are dampened to eliminate vibration stress and recess
mounted for protection from track debris. SL6 calipers bear
Wilwood's signature and a high luster black anodized finish in a
style that will catch the eye and win the favor of the most
discriminating enthusiast.
GT Series Rotor Hats
GT aluminum hats are lightweight and strong to manage the
exceptional brake torque generated by the SL6 Big Brake system. The
hats are specially designed for use on OE hubs without
modifications or interference to the suspension or ABS components.
The hats carry Wilwood's signature and a high luster black anodized
finish to prevent corrosion and enhance the overall appearance of
the complete package inside the wheel.
SRP or GT Series 13'' Rotors
Large diameter vented iron rotors provide substantial increases in
cooling and stopping power over small diameter OE rotors. All
Wilwood rotors are manufactured from premium grade, long grain
carbon iron to provide long wear with high thermal stability and
resistance to distortion. The superior heat absorption and
dissipation qualities of a directional vane iron rotor are
essential to preventing heat fade and realizing the longest service
life from the pads and rotors. For custom, show, and high
performance sport driving, SRP rotor kits offer the high-tech look
and improved performance of a directional cross-drill and face slot
pattern. In addition to their aesthetic appeal, the venting and
cleaning action of the holes and slots will reduce pad glaze,
dissipate surface heat, and minimize irregular pad build-up on the
rotor faces. The results are smoother engagement with improved
consistency and response at the pedal. Every SRP rotor is treated
with a silver zinc wash to reduce corrosion on the areas of the
rotor not kept clean by pad contact. GT rotor kits feature
Wilwood's ultimate competition rotor with full detail machining,
asymmetrical face slotting and individual dynamic balancing. GT
rotors run true and vibration free with extended rotor life and pad
wear on applications subject to higher sustained operating
temperatures.
PolyMatrix Brake Pads
PolyMatrix brake pads get fast response with high resistance to
fade, long wear, and the low rotor abrasion that PolyMatrix is so
well known for. Specific pad types and compounds have been selected
for each application and are listed in the service parts guide for
each kit.
Caliper Brackets and Hardware
Aluminum mount brackets are lightweight and strong. Each bracket is
CNC machined for precise fit on each specific spindle. Grade 8
strength or higher nuts, bolts, studs, washers, and alignment shims
are included with each kit.
Plumbing
Fittings and hoses for most kits must be ordered separately. A few
noted kits do include stainless steel flexlines. Otherwise, hose
kit part numbers can be found next to each kit in the ordering
information
NOTE: Installation of Wilwood Disc Brake Kits may
affect the wheel offset.
