Street Performance Drilled and
Slotted Brake Kit by Wilwood®. With this kit, you will significantly improve your
braking performance. Suitable for all types of custom show and high performance street/strip
vehicles this kit is a perfect compliment to wheel, tire, and suspension upgrades. Rotors
feature cross drill and slot pattern to provide better outgassing and increased cooling
capacity. Optional caliper finishes allow for personalizing your vehicle's
style.
Features:
Cross-Drill and face slot
pattern
Corrosion resistance coating
Precision machined rotors to less than 0.001 tolerance for overall flatness
Ensures maximum braking efficiency
Smoother engagement feel at the pedal and consistent response from pads
Suitable for high performance street/track racing and everyday use
Drilled and slotted rotors provide increased cooling capacity and better
outgassing
Rotors are cast from carbon iron
Rotors ensure thermal stability and resistance to distortion
Long wear rate for sustained high heat braking
Proudly manufactured in the United States
Benefits:
Slots provide gas and water
dissipation
Slots help to increase pad bite and improve air circulation
Drilled Holes and Slots create an escape route for debris, dust, gases, and water
Slots clean and de-glaze pad surface for optimum pad coefficient of friction
Drilled rotors improve the appearance of your wheels and provide reduced rotor
weight
2-Piece rotors offer great weight savings and provide rapid heat dissipation compared to
1-piece rotors
Vented type of rotors offer much faster heat dissipation
Multi-piston calipers provide clamping force on both sides of the rotor at the same time
and uniformly transfer braking force to the brake pads
Caliper pistons are hollow to save weight
Aluminum caliper body allows for exceptional light weight (up to 40% of weight savings)
and ensures superior corrosion resistance
Caliper heat-resistant coating prevent cracking and fading
Fixed calipers create friction from the brake pads on both sides of the rotor at time
interval
This Street Performance Drilled and Slotted Brake Kit provides increased levels of strong
braking. The complete package includes drilled and slotted rotors, premium brake pads and
calipers representing the latest racing technology. The calipers are available in various
finishes to reflect your individual style. Originally used for serious competitions because
of their advanced cooling capacity, drilled and slotted rotors now became popular in street
applications for their pure aesthetic value. Whether you have a daily driver or something
ready for the show, this Street Performance Drilled and Slotted Brake Kit is what you need
to get optimized braking performance.
Fixed calipers by Wilwood offer unmatched stopping power. The pistons in fixed calipers are
located on both sides of the disc, allowing for evenly distributed clamping force. They
apply more squeezing power and apply it more evenly during braking as force is directly
applied to both sides. Multi-piston calipers allow for more even braking and, as a result,
less pad distortion. The more number of pistons a caliper has, the more clamping force it
provides. Thanks to the evenly distributed pressure, these calipers ensure an even wear
pattern along the entire length of the brake pad. Usually these calipers have smaller
diameter pistons than single-piston calipers.
The internal vane design of these vented rotors by Wilwood provides excellent heat
dissipation during brake cycles. As the wheel spins, the vanes around the edge of the rotor
draw air in and pull it through to help cool the rotor. With the extra heat dissipated there
will be less brake fade. This rotor design by Wilwood combines the best features of a
slotted rotor and cross-drilled rotor allowing your brakes to run cooler and sweep away
water and dust. The cross-drilled and slotted rotors improve air circulation and increase
brake pad bite, ensuring incredible stopping performance.
Do not drive on untested
brakes. Brakes must be tested after installation or maintenance.
Make sure pedal is firm: Hold firm pressure on pedal for several
minutes, it should remain in position without sinking. If pedal sinks toward floor, check
system for fluid leaks. DO NOT drive vehicle if pedal does not stay firm or can be pushed to
the floor with normal pressure.
At very low speed (2-5 mph) apply brakes hard several times while turning steering from full
left to full right, repeat several times. Remove the wheels and check that components are
not touching, rubbing, or leaking.
Carefully examine all brake components, brake lines, and fittings for leaks and
interference.
Make sure there is no interference with wheels or suspension components.
Drive vehicle at low speed (15-20 mph) making moderate and hard stops. Brakes should feel
normal and positive. Again check for leaks and interference.
Always test vehicle in a safe place where there is no danger to (or from) other people or
vehicles.
Always wear seat belts and make use of all safety equipment.
