Press Release PR-85


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:

Camarillo, CA • March 22, 2006

Wilwood’s new Powerlite 4-piston radial mount caliper combines pure race technology with a new generation of performance enhancements. Stress-flow forging the body of this caliper yields a sleek, compact profile with superior strength and durability in higher temperature sports, rally and off-road driving applications.

The Powerlite uses a new 7912 type brake pad that is supported from the top by a quick-change clip retainer. Supporting the pads from top allow the Powerlite a closer mounting position to hats with smaller rotors between 9.45” and 11.00” in diameter, fitting smaller wheel applications. The pads can now be quickly changed without removing the calipers.

This caliper is equipped with Wilwood’s proven SRS stainless steel spring loaded bridge plates to eliminate pad gouging and extend service life of the caliper. Internal fluid passages eliminate the need for external tubes and four corner bleed screws allow the caliper be mounted in any front, rear, right, or left position.
