Reduce the chances of boiling your brake fluid.
Saves weight. 4 needed per caliper.
Same dimensions as factory piston.
Hyper's very own 6AL-4V Titanium Brake Caliper pistons are made from extremely low heat conductive titanium material to significantly reduce the chances of you boiling your brake fluid. As you can see by the chart below, titanium will transfer 3 times less heat than Wilwoods stainless steel piston.
