Construction & Design

The AERO4 rear brake kit features precision-machined rotors constructed from premium-grade cast iron with a drilled pattern to reduce heat buildup and prevent brake fade during aggressive driving. The calipers are crafted from lightweight yet durable aluminum alloy and finished with a tough black powder coat to resist corrosion and wear. The radial mount caliper design improves rigidity and braking response, while the kit’s components are engineered to fit directly onto the factory rear axle without the need for adapters or modifications.

Wilwood’s attention to detail ensures that the kit maintains the factory parking brake mechanism and ABS compatibility, preserving the vehicle’s original safety and convenience features. This thoughtful engineering results in a brake upgrade that is both functional and reliable for daily driving and spirited performance use.
