Wilwood 99-12 Porsche 911 (996/997) Superlite 4R Rear Brake Kit Drilled 14.00in Rotor w/Lines - Blk

If you're looking to significantly upgrade the braking performance on your 1999-2012 Porsche 911 (996/997 generation), this Wilwood Superlite 4R rear brake kit is a solid choice. It replaces your factory rear braking components with a much more robust system designed for demanding use, whether that's spirited street driving or track days. This kit centers around Wilwood's well-known Superlite 4R calipers and large, drilled rotors, giving your 911 improved stopping power and heat management.

The heart of this kit is the forged billet aluminum Superlite 4R caliper. It's a four-piston caliper, meaning it has more pistons than most stock calipers, which allows for more even pressure distribution across the brake pad. This translates to better pad wear and more consistent braking force. The calipers are finished in a durable black coating. Paired with these calipers are 14-inch diameter, drilled rotors. The drilling helps to vent gases and heat away from the rotor surface, which is crucial for preventing brake fade during prolonged or hard braking. This kit also includes the necessary stainless steel braided brake lines, which are more resistant to expansion under pressure than rubber lines, further improving pedal feel and responsiveness. Everything you need to install this rear big brake kit is included, from the calipers and rotors to the lines and mounting hardware.

When installing a big brake kit like this, it's important to remember that it's a significant upgrade to your vehicle's braking system. You'll want to ensure you have the correct tools and follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully for proper installation. Bleeding the brake system after installation is a critical step to ensure optimal performance and safety. This kit is designed to work with your existing master cylinder, but for the best results, consider pairing it with a high-performance brake fluid to take full advantage of the new hardware.
