PISTON CALIPER1.62x.88 L G

The Wilwood Piston Caliper 1.62x.88 L G is a precision single-piston brake component engineered for high-performance street and track applications where reliability and modulation are critical. Built by Wilwood, a leader in performance brake systems, this caliper serves enthusiasts and professional mechanics upgrading factory braking systems or building custom suspension setups. The compact design and lightweight construction make it ideal for front-end brake conversions on vehicles where space is limited or unsprung weight reduction is a priority.

The 1.62x.88 piston configuration delivers controlled braking force with excellent pressure distribution across the friction surface, a hallmark of Wilwood's engineering approach. The "L" designation indicates this is a left-hand caliper, essential for symmetrical brake system setups on dual-caliper configurations. Single-piston designs reduce inertial mass compared to multi-piston units, improving brake response and heat dissipation while maintaining adequate clamping force for street driving. Wilwood calipers are manufactured to tight tolerances and feature corrosion-resistant construction, ensuring consistent performance across thousands of miles and multiple heat cycles.

This caliper pairs with Wilwood rotors and proprietary brake pads to create a complete, balanced braking system for custom truck builds, resto-mods, and street rods. Mechanics and fabricators installing this component should verify rotor compatibility, pad compound specifications, and brake line port sizing before mounting. The featherweight construction at 0.2 lbs per unit makes it suitable for weight-conscious builds while the proven Wilwood design ensures fade resistance and predictable modulation whether you're daily driving or hitting the autocross course.
