DLS Floater Caliper 1.75/.250

The Wilwood DLS Floater Caliper 1.75/.250 is a precision brake caliper engineered for high-performance vehicles requiring reliable stopping power and fade-resistant braking under extreme conditions. This single-piston floating design serves law enforcement, military, and civilian operators who demand professional-grade braking systems capable of sustained thermal cycling and rapid repeated stops. The DLS (Dynalite Low-Spot) architecture delivers consistent pedal feel and modulation essential for tactical driving, emergency response, and track-duty applications where brake fade is not an option.

Constructed from lightweight aluminum and finished in gray anodize for corrosion resistance, this caliper features a 1-piston configuration that clamps rotors measuring 13.000 inches in outer diameter with 0.250-inch thickness. The 3.280-inch floating mount design self-centers on the rotor, reducing friction and heat buildup during extended braking cycles—a critical advantage in pursuit, tactical transport, or off-road recovery scenarios. The aluminum construction minimizes unsprung weight while maintaining structural rigidity, and the gray anodized finish provides durability against salt spray, moisture, and temperature extremes. Weighing just 1.75 pounds, this caliper integrates seamlessly into systems designed for performance without sacrificing reliability.

This caliper is ideal for operators upgrading street or tactical vehicles with larger rotor packages or transitioning to high-performance brake platforms. Installation requires compatibility with 0.250-inch rotor thickness and 13.000-inch outer diameter specifications; verify your current rotor setup before ordering. Law enforcement fleet managers and military motorpool supervisors benefit from Wilwood's proven track record in demanding duty cycles, while civilian buyers using heavy-duty trucks or performance vehicles gain access to the same engineering trusted by professional drivers. The floating mount design simplifies installation and reduces alignment sensitivity, making this a practical upgrade for both OEM replacement and custom brake system builds.
