The Wilwood DynaPro Single-VW (DPS-VW) billet caliper is the is a further enhancement of our newest generation of calipers available as an upgrade or replacement for applications previously using ATE OE 2 piston calipers used on 1967 to 1978 Volkswagen Beetle and Karman Ghia. DPS-LW calipers combine superior strength with design and performance enhancements to make these one of the best and lightest OE replacement calipers ever.
Calipers are fully CNC machined from premium grade alloy billet. The FEA generated body design incorporates a fortified transition between the piston housings and the bridges. Strengthening this critical area has substantially increased its resistance to deflection and body separation under load. Reductions in overall deflection, and the subsequent decreases in fluid volume displacement, translate to increased clamping efficiency with less pedal travel.
The DPS-VW uses 1.62 in (41mm) bore heavy wall stainless steel pistons to resist corrosion and slow the heat transfer from the pads. The heavy wall sectional thickness improves pedal firmness and adds to the overall clamping efficiency by eliminating piston backside deflection.
Calipers are fitted with replaceable stainless steel SRS bridge plates. SRS plates eliminate bridge wear caused by pad gouging. The spring-loading action of the SRS plates eliminates pad rattle and dampens the vibration harmonics that contribute to squeal during engagement. The package is completed with internal fluid passages and four corner bleed screws that allow mounting in any front, rear, left, or right side position.
