Aftermarket Brake calipers

I found a set of 6 piston front calipers that came from a viper. I'm trying to figure out exactly what they are, hoping you guys can help. No name on the side or any features I can see that resemble stoptech or brembos. Thanks for the help guys.

Here's a shot of the top:

They dont look like stoptechs. They MIGHT be red painted/coated wilwoods (kinda resembles them due to that rounded ledge on the caliper...but im not sure.

Re: Aftermarket Brake calipers

Update: I have done some searching and they are definately not wilwoods, nothing ap has matches closely, alcons are out of the question, closest I have seen are brembos but I can find a good pic of a 6 piston caliper for the life of me. This is harder than I thought it would be.

Re: Aftermarket Brake calipers

Kinda resemble brembos but not really... I can't find a thing that is close, darn it, even checked with some suppliers and nobody knows. This is going to turn into a trivia game.

Thanks for the help guys, keep the ideas comming.

Re: Aftermarket Brake calipers

They sure look like Wilwoods to me. I would guess a Dilusi or TNT kit. Why don't you try to cross-reference the pads # for your answer?

Re: Aftermarket Brake calipers

I know you said that they werent wilwoods. Are you sure? I have a couple of freinds with wilwoods, and ive had wilwoods on other race cars...they look like a dead ringer for wilwoods. Doesnt dilusi sell their kits with a red anodized aluminum hat on the rotor? That rotor looks like a one piece.

Wilwood GN III. I have them on my roadster. You need some pretty serious (BIG) rear brakes to balance those out. That looks like the fitment (caliper and rotor) that TNT used to sell.

Re: Aftermarket Brake calipers

I stand corrected, every wilwood set I have ever seen looks nothing like those. Funny you mention rear brakes, it uses the same clipers all around with 2 piece rotors.

No they are not going on a viper, but a dodge dakota pick-up. Going to take some minor fab but it will be sweet.
