120-8079-RSR - Wilwood Billet Narrow Superlite 6 Brake Caliper; Red - Radial Right

The Wilwood billet SL6R series adds the versatility and convenience of radial mounting to this always popular caliper group. The radial mounting simplifies adaptation and provides two planes of adjustment for accurate alignment over the disc. These calipers integrate "Big Brake" style with Wilwood's latest technology to generate big stopping power in extreme environments over a broad range of vehicle applications. The key to the superior performance of the SL6R comes from the durable and efficient caliperbody design. Starting at 2.0kg it is the product of computer generated solid modeling and FEA stress analysis technology. Full length stiffening ribs and a reinforced radial transition from the piston bore housings to the closed end bridges has produced the strongest SL caliper bodies ever built. When compared to open bridge calipers that use tube or stand spacers between the body halves, the closed end bridge design is measurably stronger with less separation or deflection under load. Additional strength and resistance to deflection comes from the four high-strength steel end bridge bolts. A fifth center bridge bolt provides even more overall strength and easy access to the pads without the need to remove the caliper from the mount. A unique six-piston differential bore configuration provides balanced loading for even pad wear in sustained high heat environments. The standard SL6R calipers feature one-piece stainless steel pistons. To slow heat transfer properties and high resistance to corrosion, stainless steel is used. The SL6R/ST models feature Wilwood's exclusive Thermlock pistons. This multi-part piston design creates a highly efficient thermal barrier to further reduce heat transfer from the pads to caliper body, seals, and fluid. Cooler temperatures translate to longer service life and less chance for heat induced pedal fade.
