Product details
One-piece iron rotor/hat assemblies attach to the separate aluminum hubs in this Superlite 6R front kit. Black six-piston calipers operate the GT-slotted rotors, giving a different construction from the separate rotor-ring and aluminum-hat package of the same nominal diameter. Bill Wood established Wilwood Engineering in 1977; the company is based in Camarillo, California. Its disc brake design and manufacturing range covers calipers, rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines, as well as complete systems. Those products serve motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications, with the individual components selected to match the braking system as a whole.
