Wilwood Racing: Lightweight Brake Kits for Drag Strut Spindles
Hot Drag Action
In drag racing, much like wrestling or swim suit season, every pound counts. A psychotic need to shave weight wherever possible is the common thread between racers and pageant moms. Luckily, it’s the ONLY common thread between them. Sequins generally don’t look right on racing leathers. But we’re not ones to judge.
For the drag racer looking to drop weight, Wilwood Racing’s new front kits for struts with spindle mounted wheels are some of the lightest brakes available, at less than six pounds per wheel. That includes the Dynalite billet aluminum single-piston caliper, 10.00” drilled rotor, hat, brackets, brake lines and hardware.
These kits deliver supplemental braking on cars using rear brakes and parachutes for most of their stopping. Kits are available for the popular AFCO and Santhuff’s drag racing struts with various wheels.
