Wilwood 140-14557 AERO6 Big Brake Front Kit (Race), 14.00in — Corvette C5/C6, Cadillac XLR 2004-2010

Wilwood 140-14557 AERO6 Big Brake Front Brake Kit (Race)

Aerolite six-piston differential-bore calipers are coupled with the high heat capacity of dynamically mounted 14.00in Spec-37 alloy rotors for consistent, responsive braking on spec Corvette racers, autocross, and track day cars using Corvette suspension. GT rotors with 72 staggered directional vanes shed heat and float on lightweight forged aluminum hats via Wilwood's Dynamic Lug Drive mount system to further reduce thermal stress. The kit ships complete with high temperature, high friction BP-35 SmartPads selected for exceptional driver control with DOT tires and limited downforce.

The radial-mount Aerolite caliper uses a forged aluminum body with a Type III Mil-Spec hard anodized finish and a closed bridge to reduce deflection. The wide-body race version accepts 20mm pads for longer service life even under heavy, high-speed use. Investment cast stainless steel pistons resist corrosion and heat transfer versus the aluminum or steel pistons found in OE calipers, and internal springs with high-temperature piston seals reduce knockback for a more consistent pedal feel. Caliper pistons are sized for full compatibility with the factory master cylinder and ABS controls, and mounting brackets with premium-grade hardware secure the calipers in the stock location. Requires a stainless steel braided flexline, sold separately and specific to model year.
