BETTER STOPPING BY DESIGN
       At first glance, all disc brakes seem pretty much the same. The calipers compress the pads onto the rotor, providing the stopping power. Looks good on paper. But what happens in the real world, when there are all kinds of dynamic forces at play that can cause flexing, misalignment and uneven pressure application? It's the attention to detail and thorough engineering that makes the difference between marginal and superior braking consistency. And, as an added bonus for racers, MW brakes are compact and light -the reduction in unsprung weight providing a performance advantage.

         
         Let's take the calipers, since they're the "heart" of a disc brake system. MW calipers are trim, strong, and have superior bridge strength over competitive products. While the aluminum alloy used by Mark Williams is approximately 30% stronger than what's used by others, the important consideration is the use of four beefy 7/16" caliper body fasteners plus a 5/16" bridge bolt. This gives MW calipers exceptional stability, and assures a smooth, even application of pressure. Another design feature of Mark Williams' calipers is that fluid passages are internal, which eliminates the need for damage-prone external lines. Available in 2 and 4-piston designs.

         
         The rotors -which are double disc ground to assure both sides being parallel- feature MW's exclusive Slot Drive(tm) rotor attachment system. This innovative feature prevents rotor warpage common to standard design disc brakes.

         Another important reason why Mark Williams disc brakes provide exceptionally reliable stopping power is that the caliper mounting brackets are designed for each application -there are no "universal" type brackets or compromises. These durable 5/16" thick 7075-T6 brackets have steel threaded inserts for the caliper mounting bolts. They're designed to provide precise caliper-to-rotor alignment for optimum grip.
