Key Features
Wilwood’s Superlite 6R Front Big Brake Kit combines advanced engineering and durable materials to maximize braking performance and reliability. Key features include:
- Application-specific design for 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK ensuring perfect fit and function
- Forged Narrow Superlite 6R four-piston calipers with red powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and a striking appearance
- Slotted 14-inch rotors that improve heat dissipation and enhance pad bite for superior stopping power
- Compatibility with factory disc spindles and radial mount caliper configuration for straightforward installation
- Maintains full compatibility with the original equipment master cylinder output and ABS systems
- Minimum 18-inch wheel diameter requirement to accommodate larger rotors and calipers
- Lightweight yet durable construction reduces unsprung weight, improving suspension response
Construction & Design
The calipers in this kit are forged from high-strength aluminum alloy, offering an ideal balance of rigidity and lightweight performance. The four-piston design ensures even pressure distribution across the brake pads, which promotes consistent braking force and reduces uneven pad wear. The red powder-coated finish not only provides excellent corrosion resistance but also maintains an attractive appearance under harsh environmental conditions.
The 14-inch rotors are precision-machined and feature slotted surfaces to enhance heat dissipation and help evacuate brake dust and gases. This design reduces the risk of brake fade during demanding driving scenarios, ensuring reliable performance whether on pavement or trail.
Installation & Fitment
This big brake kit is engineered for direct bolt-on installation using the factory disc spindle mounts on Jeep Wrangler JK models from 2007 through 2018. The radial mount caliper design simplifies alignment and increases braking leverage for improved pedal feel. Because the kit is designed to work with the original master cylinder and ABS system, no modifications to the hydraulic system are typically necessary.
Installation requires a minimum 18-inch wheel diameter to clear the larger rotors and calipers. Professional installation is recommended to ensure proper torque specifications and brake system bleeding, guaranteeing optimal performance and safety.

What does the Available to Promise date mean?
ETA stands for Estimated Time of Arrival. The date shown is calculated using our Available-to-Promise (ATP) system, which tracks real-time supplier commitments to determine when a product is expected to be available for delivery. Specifically, the date is calculated by adding 9 business days from the date a supplier has committed to ship the product, representing a worst-case scenario for when we can expect to receive inventory.
Please note: The ETA is an estimate, not a guarantee. While we work closely with our suppliers to keep dates as accurate as possible, delays due to shipping carriers, weather, customs, or supplier-side issues may occasionally push the actual arrival beyond the date shown. Likewise, inventory may arrive sooner than the ETA in many cases. If you would like to be notified for when this item arrives, sign up for our back in stock notifications!
