Wilwood Disc Brakes has just released a new Big Brake upgrade kit (P/N 140-12789) for the 2006 – present Volkswagen GTI. This kit offers simple bolt-on installation to the OE stock axle hub and
delivers big brake stopping power and styling for the street, track or show to compliment wheel and
tire upgrades on all types of custom machines.
High strength clamping force and positive stopping power are the trademark of the Wilwood net
forged narrow Superlite 6 calipers. Six differential bore stainless steel pistons provide fully balanced pad loading, along with the corrosion resistance and thermal retardant qualities of the stainless alloy
that will keep your calipers cooler and running trouble free for many more miles down the road or
track. Base model kits include either sealed gloss black or red powder coat calipers. Wilwood’s new
Quick-Silver series nickel plated calipers are also available as an option by special request.
FNSL6R Big Brake kits can be purchased with either 12.88” diameter GT competition series, or the SRP series drilled and slotted E-coat rotors to maximize braking capacity and match style with your wheel size and design. GT rotors are fully detail machined from premium grade carbon iron castings, face slotted, and individually dynamic balanced to provide true and precise running at all speeds. SRP performance rotors feature Wilwood’s signature directional drill and slot design with a protective E-coat finish. The drill and slot pattern adds race-tech styling and the venting qualities that preserve pad performance. The heat resistant E-coat finish protects the rotors from rust on all areas that are
not swept clean by the brake pads.
Friction is provided by BP-10 compound Wilwood “Smart pads”. BP-10 is a unique metallic composite formula that provides quiet engagement and low dusting, but with the added temperature range and
higher friction values of a semi-metallic compound pad. BP-10 runs clean and quiet on the street, with improved stopping power and fade resistance for tough roads and lighter duty use during those fun days at the track. Optional high-temp and race only pad compounds are also available.
To complete the installation, precision machined and application specific brackets come along with
premium grade hardware and alignment shims for a secure and accurate installation. DOT approved
flexline kits, required to adapt Wilwood calipers to your chassis plumbing are included with the kit.
Wilwood performance brake kits are loaded with cutting edge technology built on years of domination
in world motorsports, and proven reliable through Zero PPM defect supply to OEM’s. Wilwood’s Big
Brake Kits are designed to meet the high performance demands of today’s tire, wheel and
suspension technology.
