Disclaimer: Wheel fitment is the customer's responsibility. If you need help verifying wheel fitment be sure to ask our brake experts for a wheel fitment template before you order. BBK's are not returnable due to improper wheel fitment. 

    When it comes to performance and looks, Wilwood AERO6 Big Brake front brake kits are unmatched in the industry. These kits will be useful for show cars, dual-purpose street, and track vehicles, tow trucks, and off-road SUVs, among other things. Wilwood AERO6 Big Brake kits are equipped with forged calipers that provide heavy-duty stopping power and are available in either red or black powder coat. These matched component kits include premium-grade rotors, high-performance pads, and precision-machined hats. Purchase the Wilwood AERO6 Big Brake kits that are specifically designed to fit your vehicle, and then bolt them on for the best performance and appearance possible.
AERO6-ST six piston radial mount calipers are coupled with the high cooling capacity of 14.00” dynamically mounted GT directional vane rotors to provide the ultimate brake package for unrestricted road race competition. Thermlock pistons in the calipers resist fade and extend service life by reducing the heat transfer from the pads, caliper body, fluid, and seals. New design AERO6-ST (Thick Pad) calipers with 20mm thick pads increase endurance with longer pad life. Rotors mount to the hubs with forged aluminum hats and radial mount brackets secure the caliper to the spindle in the OE location without modification. Kits also include high temperature, high friction race compound pads and all premium grade fasteners.
The Wilwood AERO6 Big Brake Kit features six-piston radial-mount calipers that are paired with 14.00" dynamically mounted GT directional vane rotors that have a high cooling capacity, resulting in the ideal brake kit for unrestricted road race competitiveness. It is possible to reduce heat transmission from the pads, caliper body, fluid, and seals by using Thermlock pistons in the calipers to prevent fade and improve service life. The AERO6 calipers have 20mm thick pads, which increases endurance while also extending the life of the pads. Rotor assemblies are mounted to the hubs using forged aluminum mounting crowns, and radial-mount brackets keep the caliper mounted to the spindle in its original place without the need for reconfiguration. High-temperature, high-friction race compound pads are also included in the kits, along with all premium-grade fasteners.
