Wilwood
The Porsche brand is steeped in performance automotive and racing history with numerous world records. The early models broke technological barriers with innovative suspension, comfort, and reliability. The air-cooled rear-engine 911 evolved over the next 30 years until the new water-cooled models were introduced in 1999.
Wilwood engineers have developed replacement calipers and complete brake kits using race-proven designs for the early Porsche models to meet the growing demand for hard-to-find, pricey components. Wilwood calipers and kits are bred from a winning race history, dominating circle tracks and road race venues worldwide. Adapting the existing technology to the Porsche platform is a win-win for Porsche enthusiasts and racers. If you are looking for bolt-on calipers or complete brake kits, including rotors, hats, and stainless braided brake lines, Wilwood is rolling out solutions for you. Modern technology and USA manufacturing at Wilwood factories in California provide strong, lightweight forged aluminum calipers, high-performance alloy rotors, and a wide selection of brake pad compounds to keep Porsche models running strong and competitive.
It’s important to note that any brake kit of interest requires your review of the provided wheel clearance diagram on the product detail page before purchase to confirm a proper fit.
