Overview

The Wilwood AERO4 Rear Big Brake Kit is a high-performance upgrade designed specifically for select rear-wheel-drive Chrysler and Dodge vehicles, including the Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Charger, and Magnum models from 2005 to 2011. This kit replaces the factory rear disc brakes with larger, more capable components that enhance stopping power, durability, and overall braking performance while maintaining compatibility with the original equipment parking brake system.

Ideal for enthusiasts seeking improved brake response and fade resistance, the AERO4 kit is engineered to complement front big brake upgrades and support vehicles equipped with larger wheels, tires, and suspension modifications. It delivers consistent, balanced braking that matches the factory ABS and master cylinder output, ensuring safe and reliable operation under demanding driving conditions.

Key Features

Wilwood’s AERO4 Rear Big Brake Kit combines advanced design and materials to provide superior braking performance and style. Key features include:

• Four-piston AERO4 black powder-coated calipers for increased clamping force and heat dissipation
• Oversized 14.25-inch slotted rotors that improve cooling and reduce brake fade
• BP-10 high-performance brake pads formulated for consistent friction and long wear
• Direct bolt-on replacement for factory rear disc brakes with no modifications required
• Maintains compatibility with original equipment parking brake assembly
• Optimized for use with factory ABS systems and master cylinder output
• Designed for vehicles with 18-inch or larger wheels to accommodate rotor size
• Durable construction suitable for street, strip, and performance driving

Construction & Design

The AERO4 calipers are crafted from lightweight yet robust aluminum alloy and finished with a corrosion-resistant black powder coat for lasting durability and a sleek appearance. The slotted rotors are precision-machined from high-grade cast iron to provide excellent thermal conductivity and resistance to warping under extreme heat. The slots on the rotors help evacuate gases and debris, maintaining clean pad contact and consistent braking performance.

Wilwood engineers designed this kit to integrate seamlessly with the original parking brake hardware, ensuring that no additional modifications are necessary. The caliper mounting and rotor dimensions are tailored to the specific rear axle offset and brake system geometry of the supported vehicles, preserving factory brake bias and pedal feel.
