sorry I'm late in on this one but I've just started reserching this for a customer of mine, (my father actually), I looked at an ssbc caliper a year or so ago that was ultimatly the same design as this wilwood caliper, my concern is how the 52 pad actually mounts to the caliper. The original pad mounts with a clip for the inside of the caliper piston cup, but with both the ssbc and the wilwood caliper that mounting solution doesn't make any sense to me. We had a ssbc caliper and a new set of pads in my store before I sold it to my customer(father), and couldn't understand how the pad will stay secure on the dual piston side of the caliper without rattling and wearing prematurly. Long story short, I lost the sale. anybody have some insight on this one?
