They are for brand name bling. If your brakes are working perfectly then you won't notice the difference. They are somewhat lighter than stock caliper, but the twin pistons are also smaller surface area than the single GM piston. Braided hoses are also a recommended upgrade, especially if you already are due for renewals.
Gen 2 Wilwood front brake caliper upgrade
Gen 2 Wilwood front brake caliper upgrade. Pretty straightforward upgrade, Wilwood D52 calipers, pads and SS braided hoses. This car has manual brakes and will be keeping it that way. Great pedal feel and much easier to work in the engine compartment. The Wilwood calipers work and look great, would recommend.
