Has anyone had any experience with Wilwood's aluminum calipers in 6 pistons front and 4 pistons rear? They are about 23 lbs lighter and larger pistons and more pistons in the front. Like leaking or locking the wheel up or harder to install etc. They have a deal going now in buying all four. I am real happy with VBP's calipers and slotted rotters but always looking for better and lighter.

Wilwood is world class hardware. I don't think you can go wrong with their stuff.

If it is for the street, go for it... If it's for the track, well, not so good for the street.

I agree, great product from Wilwood. They have anything to suit your application. I personally find the weight and heat dissipation the keys to my interest.

That being said, the iron calipers are a great cheap factory option. There really is nothing wrong with them provided they are maintained and the system is bled properly.

In short, performance isn't something you'll see a huge improvement in. Their value lies in their weight and material.
