Part #: 140-11764

Overview

The Wilwood AERO6 Front Big Brake Kit is engineered to deliver exceptional stopping power for a range of Chrysler and Dodge rear-wheel-drive vehicles from 2005 to 2011. Featuring six-piston black powder-coated calipers paired with large slotted rotors, this kit is designed for drivers seeking enhanced braking performance for both street and track use. It is ideal for heavier vehicles or those equipped with larger wheels and tires, providing reliable, fade-resistant braking under demanding conditions.

Specifically developed for models including the Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Dodge Magnum (excluding AWD and SRT8 variants), this kit maintains full compatibility with the original equipment master cylinder and ABS systems, ensuring seamless integration and safety.

Key Features

The Wilwood AERO6 kit combines advanced engineering and high-quality materials to maximize braking efficiency and durability:

• Six-piston forged billet calipers with black powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and aggressive styling
• Directional staggered vane rotors measuring 14.25 inches in diameter for superior heat dissipation and fade resistance
• Slotted rotor design enhances pad bite and helps evacuate gases and debris for consistent braking performance
• Compatible with factory disc spindles and designed for radial mount installation for improved rigidity and pedal feel
• Minimum wheel diameter requirement of 18 inches to accommodate the larger rotor size
• Maintains full ABS functionality and OE master cylinder compatibility for safety and reliability
• Optimized for heavy vehicles and those with upgraded wheels and tires, providing enhanced stopping power

Construction & Design

The AERO6 calipers are crafted from forged billet aluminum, offering a lightweight yet extremely strong structure that resists flex under heavy braking loads. The black powder coat finish not only adds a sleek, aggressive appearance but also protects against corrosion and wear. The rotors feature a directional staggered vane design, which maximizes airflow through the rotor to maintain cooler operating temperatures during sustained high-performance use. Slotted surfaces improve pad cleaning and gas evacuation, reducing brake fade and improving pedal response.

Installation & Fitment

This front big brake kit is designed for direct fitment on 2005–2011 Chrysler 300, Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and 2005–2008 Dodge Magnum models equipped with V6 and 5.7L Hemi engines, excluding AWD and SRT8 versions. Installation utilizes factory disc spindles and requires a minimum 18-inch wheel diameter to clear the larger rotors and calipers. The kit is engineered to work seamlessly with the vehicle’s original ABS system and master cylinder, ensuring a straightforward upgrade without the need for additional modifications or system recalibration.
