Wilwood 120-12949-RD Forged DPHA 4-pot brake caliper Honda Civic, CRX with OEM 262 mm rotors (front, red)
For: Honda/Acura Civic, CRX originally equipped with 262mm diameter rotors
Wilwood Disc Brakes is pleased to announce a new direct bolt-on DynaPro Honda/Acura Caliper (DPHA) for Honda and Acura models originally equipped with 262mm diameter rotors. These calipers bolt directly to the stock mounts on factory spindles, fit over the OE 262mm diameter rotor, accept the OE brake hose, and clear many factory aluminum wheels including the EM1 Si 15” wheel.*
Designed around Wilwood’s proven DynaPro series four piston calipers, the forged billet bodied DPHA caliper delivers highstrength clamping force and positive stopping power. Four stainless steel pistons provide fully balanced pad loading, along with the corrosion resistance and thermal retardant qualities of the stainless alloy that will keep your calipers cooler and running trouble free for many more miles. Calipers work perfectly with the OE master cylinder and ABS functions, and are available with either black (P/N 120-12949-BK) or red (P/N 120-12949-RD) high-gloss, high-temp, brake fluid resistant sealed powder coat and feature Wilwood’s signature logo.
DPHA calipers are available individually, in kits with a pair of calipers and a set of brake pads, or in a complete front kit that includes calipers, brake pads and OE replacement 262mm rotors in either our ULHP or SRP treatment. ULHP plain-face rotors are cast from premium grade, long grain carbon iron, and provide high performance and rugged durability for a wide range of competition, performance, and sport driving applications. SRP performance rotors add Wilwood’s signature directional drill and slot design with a protective black e-coat finish. The drill and slot pattern adds hitech styling with the venting qualities that preserve pad performance. The heat resistant e-coat finish protects the rotors from rust on all areas that are not swept clean by the brake pads.
Friction will be provided by BP-10 compound Wilwood “Smart Pads”. BP-10 is a unique metallic composite formula that provides quiet engagement and low dusting, but with the added temperature range and higher friction values of a semi-metallic compound pad. BP-10 runs clean and quiet on the street, with improved stopping power and fade-resistance for those fun days at the track.
Wilwood performance aftermarket brake components are loaded with the features and technology built from decades of domination in world motorsports, and the proven reliability of Zero PPM defect quality supply to leading OE manufacturers around the world. These components will not only optimize the braking performance, it will deliver mile after mile of reliable performance and service life on your Honda/Acura.

Forged Billet DPHA calipers:
- Competition proven forged billet aluminum bodies demonstrate superior strength and resistance to deflection and separation under high load.
- Four stainless steel pistons generate high clamping force and balanced pad loading with low heat transfer and high resistance to corrosion. Stainless steel pistons resist corrosion while slowing the heat transfer rate from the pads to the caliper body.
- The internal piston seal-in-bore design adds proven durability with keeping the fluid in and dirt out without the need for external boot seals.
- Spring loaded stainless steel SRS bridge plates reduce noise by dampening engagement harmonics and eliminating pad rattle. SRS plates also extend caliper service life by eliminating bridge gouging at the pad trailing edge.
- Top loaded pads are easily inspected and serviced without the need to remove the caliper from the mount.
- Calipers are available with either black or red gloss powder coat.
