The Howe dual piston calipers are designed to provide maximum braking in a GM mount caliper. The 2 piston design applies even pressure to the full pad reducing uneven pad wear. GM calipers use a much larger pad than the Superlite style calipers, providing a greater friction area. These calipers meet or exceed the clamping pressure of any short track caliper. For higher heat applications we recommend a steel outer half to reduce high temperature flexing that occurs in all aluminum calipers.
