High-strength Dynapro DP6A forged aluminum calipers feature a central stiffening bridge to reduce deflection and improve performance and pedal feel. Rotors are more than an inch larger than stock, providing more brake torque and thermal capacity. Choose Ultralite HP plain face 32 straight vane or SRP drilled-and-slotted, 32-curved vane rotors measuring 12.19×0.81 inch. Calipers come finished in high gloss red or black powdercoat or 22 other color options (additional charges may apply).
In addition to the high-strength brackets, kits include rotor adapter plates, hubs, and all mounting hardware. Stainless steel Wilwood Flexlines are available separately.

The kit comes complete with premade braided -AN brake hoses, mounting brackets, heat shield, and all attaching hardware.
