Camarillo, CA, September 9, 2009
Wilwood’s front D52 caliper is a direct bolt-on replacement for OE calipers on various 1968 thru 1996 GM models. If you are a classic car restorer; a muscle car owner that wishes to put a high performance brake caliper inside your stock 14-inch wheel or if you race late model dirt, asphalt or modified cars, you now have an alternative to the heavy GM type caliper.
The D52 caliper represents the latest refinements in modern caliper design and manufacturing including forged aluminum body, stainless steel pistons for their slow heat transfer properties and high corrosion resistance; high temperature seals for controlled piston retraction, which improves driver feel and is available in two bore sizes. Other benefits of the new caliper include a weight savings of four pounds per caliper and ten different pad compounds providing optimized braking and driver feel for the most extreme competition environment to the hardly driven show vehicle. Caliper finishes include “cast iron” gray, black, red and other custom Wilwood colors. The new calipers mount in the original location over the stock rotors and use the same style OED52 brake pads and OE master cylinder. Save weight and gain reliability the new aluminum D52.
