PISTON CALIPER1.62x.88 L G

The Wilwood piston caliper 1.62x.88 L G (SKU WIL200-7520) is a precision brake component engineered for high-performance and competition vehicles where stopping power, weight reduction, and modulation matter. Built by Wilwood, a leader in motorsport brake systems, this left-hand caliper integrates directly into custom brake setups where builders require compact, lightweight calipers that deliver consistent clamping force across demanding driving conditions. Whether you're upgrading a road race car, autocross platform, or street-performance build, this caliper serves as a critical foundation for brake system reliability.

At 1.62 inches piston bore diameter with an 0.88-inch piston height, this caliper is sized for mid-range brake pad friction area, balancing initial bite with thermal stability during sustained braking events. The narrow profile—measuring 1.85 x 1.3 x 2.7 inches—allows fitment in tight wheel packages without compromising pad thickness or cooling airflow to the rotor. Wilwood's engineering ensures that the piston geometry and bore tolerances produce predictable brake feel and minimal fade, critical for drivers who log repeated high-speed stops or extended track sessions. At just 0.2 lbs, the weight savings versus OEM calipers contribute to unsprung mass reduction, improving suspension response and brake balance tuning.

Professional brake builders, track-focused enthusiasts, and performance shops select Wilwood calipers for systems where OEM units fall short on heat dissipation, modulation, or packaging constraints. This left-hand unit integrates into symmetrical dual-caliper setups on single rotors or asymmetrical layouts on larger diameter discs. Installation requires proper brake line routing, pad selection matched to your rotor and driving style, and system bleeding to eliminate air. Verify rotor diameter, pad material compatibility, and mounting bracket fitment before ordering to ensure seamless integration into your custom brake platform.
