Wilwood 70-72 Porsche 914 Front Powerlite Brake Kit Plain Face - Red

This Wilwood Powerlite brake kit for your 1970-1972 Porsche 914 includes everything you need to upgrade the front braking system. You get a pair of red Powerlite four-piston calipers, plain face rotors, and the necessary mounting brackets and hardware to get them installed. This kit is designed to give your classic 914 a significant boost in stopping power and thermal capacity, making it a solid choice for spirited driving or track use.

The Powerlite calipers are forged from aluminum, which keeps their weight down while still offering a strong housing for the pistons. Wilwood pairs these with substantial rotors that have a plain face, meaning they don't have slots or drilled holes. While drilled rotors can help with initial water dispersal and heat dissipation, plain face rotors are often preferred for their durability and resistance to cracking under extreme thermal stress, making them a good option for consistent performance. The four-piston design of the calipers allows for even pressure distribution across the pad surface, leading to more effective braking and improved pad life compared to smaller, single-piston setups.

Upgrading your brakes is a critical step for any Porsche 914 owner looking to improve their car's overall performance and safety, especially if you're pushing the car harder. This kit provides a well-built solution that directly addresses the braking needs of the 914. Ensure you consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details on mounting and any other components you might need to complete the job, such as brake fluid.
