The Wilwood 140-16117 Forged Superlite 4R Road Race Front Big Brake Kit is purpose-built for dedicated road racing applications. Engineered around Wilwood's proven FSL4R/ST four-piston calipers and a 12.19-inch directional vane rotor, this complete bolt-on front brake kit delivers championship-level stopping power without requiring spindle modifications.
FSL4R/ST Four-Piston Calipers
The forged aluminum caliper bodies feature a Type III Mil-Spec hard anodized medium gray finish, providing superior wear resistance in the piston bores along with outstanding resistance to abrasion and corrosion. Thermlock® pistons are incorporated to minimize heat transfer from the brake pads, reducing fade and extending caliper, fluid, and seal service life. Internal damper springs and high-temperature controlled-retraction piston seals maintain consistent pedal height throughout race sessions.
Spec37 GT Competition Series Rotors
The 12.19-inch diameter Spec37 alloy GT competition series directional vane lug mount rotors deliver high cooling efficiency with rugged durability and thermal stability under sustained high-heat racing conditions. Forged aluminum dynamic lug mount hats securely mount the rotors to the OE hubs.
Bolt-On Installation
Precision-machined mounting brackets and premium-grade fasteners secure the calipers directly to the OE spindles in the stock location — no cutting, welding, or spindle modifications required. Caliper piston volumes are matched for full compatibility with the OE power brake booster and master cylinder, and are easily configured for manual brake conversions and balance bar pedal setups using appropriately sized master cylinders.
