New Wilwood Aero6 and Aero4 Kits
Effective August 1st: All Wilwood factory and TCE/Wilwood kit sold with the W6A and W4A calipers will now be shipped with the new Aero6 and Aero4 models.
The Aero series represents an extension of the proven and popular W series and builds upon that success.
What makes the Aero series stand out?
1. A slightly larger body and anulus designed to accommodate up to 15" diameter discs.
2. A build in bridge reinforcement addressing those who had concerns about body flex.
3. An internal crossover, removing unsightly and potentially damaged external pipes.
4. Single fit bleeder fittings for ease of service and less visual streaking of the outer shell.
5. The availability of a base black anodized caliper for those with track use applications where powder coat finishes can trap heat.
Or course these calipers are also available in standard BLACK and RED powder coat as well as QUICK SILVER finish.
And if that's not enough; all models can be fit with Wilwood's Thermlock pistons for extreme heat applications.
The Aero series uses the same 6617 pad found in the W series as well as the same mounting specs making it a direct interchange for anyone using a W6A or W4A now.
This calipers does retain the pesky clip and pin pad retention found on the W series and does now require the caliper be removed from the bracket to replace the pads. It is no longer a 'top loading' caliper. I'm certain some will find fault with that but it's part of the design trade off. Hopefully compared to other options the additional 10-20% cubic pad material will not having you service the pads as often anyhow.
TCE will be supplying this caliper on all future 'house' kits and customs that were supplied with the W series as well as continuing to stock a extensive line of pads, service parts and Titaninum heat barriers for all your needs!
