DDMworks 4 Piston Big Caliper Upgrade
The first kit on the market that allows you to upgrade the stock, single piston floating calipers you have now to a stronger, lighter, custom 4 piston billet set-up. When looking at the stock Solstice and Sky brake set-up, we found that the stock rotor size is a great size for most street driven cars. However, we knew there was some room for improvement in the system by upgrading the stock single piston caliper with a fixed 4 piston caliper set-up.
We designed this kit with the concept of reducing the unsprung mass of the car and keeping the rotating mass as low as we could. By using the stock size rotors we do not overly bias the front brakes or increase the rotating mass often found with other brake kits. The big caliper upgrade comes with everything you need for the upgrade, 2 custom DDMworks big calipers in your choice of Black or DDMWorks Gold, 2 Caliper mounting brackets, your choice of brake pads and necessary hardware for the installation. Vehicles using Stock Solstice wheels require the use of a 1/8" wheel spacer(supplied with kit), Sky wheels do not need the spacers. You can re-use your stock brake lines, or upgrade to stainless lines for an even firmer pedal feel.
We will also be doing a big brake kit in the future. This is first part, these 4 piston caliper will be reused to upgrade to larger sized lighter rotors and allow for a stepped approach to the upgrade. This will allow some much needed style points to be added to your car. With that style comes some key features:
Billet Aluminum housing design (Superior in strength to cast calipers).
Four Bolt, multi-ribbed housing. (Increases rigidity and reduces deflection for improved pedal feel).
Stainless steel pistons. (Retards heat transfer to brake fluid).
High temperature, square cut piston seals. (Controls piston retraction for zero drag).
Internal crossover brake fluid passage. (Eliminates potential crossover tube damage from debris).
Here's the prototype
The initial 20 sets (10 Black & 10 Gold) will be priced at
