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

Wilwood is well-known for building high-performance braking systems, and this Superlite 4R rear brake kit for your 1999-2012 Porsche 911 (996/997) is a prime example of their expertise. If you're looking to significantly upgrade your car's stopping power and heat management, especially for track use or spirited driving, this kit is designed to make a substantial difference. It replaces your factory rear brakes with a much more robust setup, featuring larger rotors and more powerful calipers to handle increased thermal loads and provide improved braking feel.

This kit centers around Wilwood's Superlite 4R calipers, which are forged from aluminum for a strong yet lightweight construction. They utilize four pistons, two on each side, to apply even pressure across the brake pads. The calipers are finished in a striking red powder coat, adding a visual upgrade to your wheels. Paired with these calipers are 14-inch diameter, 0.81-inch thick drilled rotors. The drilled pattern helps to dissipate heat and gasses, which is crucial for preventing brake fade during repeated hard stops. The kit also includes stainless steel braided brake lines, which are more rigid than rubber lines and help maintain consistent brake pedal feel under pressure. Everything you need to install these rear brakes is included, making it a comprehensive upgrade package.

When installing this kit, remember that it's a significant upgrade over stock. The larger rotors and calipers will require specific wheel clearance, so it's always a good idea to check your wheel fitment before ordering. This kit is designed to work with your vehicle's existing master cylinder, but for optimal performance, especially if you've made other modifications, you might consider pairing it with a proportioning valve or a master cylinder upgrade. This Wilwood kit is a solid option for any Porsche 911 owner looking for a noticeable improvement in braking performance and durability.
