Wilwood 99-12 Porsche 911 (996/997) Aero6 Front Brake Kit Drill/Slot 14.00in Rotor W/Lines - Red

If you're looking to significantly improve the stopping power and heat management of your 1999-2012 Porsche 911 (996/997 generation), this Wilwood Aero6 front big brake kit is a solid choice. This kit replaces your factory front brakes with a much larger and more capable system, designed to handle the demands of spirited driving and track use. The Aero6 calipers are a popular option for their robust construction and excellent thermal characteristics, ensuring consistent performance even under heavy braking.

This kit features 14-inch diameter rotors that are drilled and slotted. The drilling helps reduce weight and allows heat and gases to escape from the braking surface, while the slots help to sweep away dust and moisture, keeping the pads in constant contact with fresh rotor material. This combination is key to preventing brake fade during prolonged use. The Aero6 calipers themselves are forged from aluminum for a strong yet lightweight housing, and they utilize six pistons per caliper. More pistons mean more even pressure distribution across the brake pad, leading to better pad wear and more consistent braking force. The kit also includes stainless steel braided brake lines, which are less prone to expansion under pressure than rubber lines, providing a firmer pedal feel.

When installing a big brake kit like this, it's important to remember that it's a comprehensive system. This kit is designed to be a direct fit for the specified Porsche 911 models, but you'll want to ensure you have the correct tools and follow the manufacturer's installation instructions carefully. Because this kit significantly increases braking capability, it's often paired with high-performance brake fluid and potentially upgraded rear brakes to maintain a balanced braking system. The red caliper finish adds a nice visual touch to your wheels.
