Wilwood Brakes

Brake Caliper, Forged Dynalite, Aluminum, Gray Anodized, 4-piston, Each 

Forged Dynalites are the strongest calipers in their class. The process of stress-flow forging realigns the metal’s grain structure within the contour of the caliper body. This process eliminates the breaks and interruptions to the internal grain structure that occur when machining a straight block billet. Their FEA-generated radial transition design eliminates steps and shoulders in the area between the piston housing body and the caliper bridges. Incorporating a radius in this transition area substantially increases deflection resistance and separation under load. Structural deflection and volume displacement tests have proven that the forged Dynalites outperform all existing styles of this popular caliper size. Without even considering the overall greater strength and reliability of the forging, the reduced deflection tendencies and the resulting decrease in fluid volume displacement translate into increased clamping efficiency with less pedal travel. The bottom line is a taller pedal and better stopping power. These Forged Dynalite calipers are direct replacements for all Wilwood Dynalite and similar competitive brand calipers with 5.25 in. centered mounting lugs. The forged Dynalites use the same 7112-type brake pads used in all earlier versions of these calipers.
