DL II Caliper 1.75/.50

The DL II Caliper 1.75/.50 from Wilwood is a purpose-built brake caliper designed for high-performance and custom vehicle applications. It is ideal for drivers who demand reliable stopping power in street rods, muscle cars, and modified trucks where factory braking systems may not suffice. This dual-piston caliper is engineered to provide consistent clamping force across various driving conditions.

Featuring a 1.75-inch piston bore and compatibility with .50-inch rotor thickness, the DL II Caliper is constructed from aluminum to minimize unsprung weight while ensuring structural rigidity under sustained braking loads. Its dual-piston architecture balances pad wear and ensures even pressure distribution across the friction surface, which helps reduce brake fade and extend pad life during demanding driving scenarios.

Mechanics and fabricators often choose the DL II Caliper for retrofit installations on vintage hot rods, modern restomod builds, and custom performance trucks. Its compact footprint—measuring 5.9 x 4 x 8.95 inches and weighing just 3.4 pounds—makes it suitable for tight wheel packages and custom frame work without sacrificing stopping performance. This caliper serves as a reliable foundation for confident deceleration in any powertrain configuration.
