Construction & Design

The Wilwood AERO4 Rear Big Brake Kit features calipers constructed from lightweight yet durable forged aluminum, providing excellent strength-to-weight ratio and resistance to corrosion. The calipers utilize a radial mount design for improved stiffness and pedal feel. The rotors are crafted from premium-grade cast iron with precision-drilled holes to enhance cooling and reduce the risk of brake fade during aggressive driving. The drilled rotor design also helps evacuate water and debris, maintaining consistent braking performance in various conditions.

Each component is engineered to meet stringent quality standards, ensuring long-lasting performance and reliability under demanding driving scenarios.

Installation & Fitment
