Wilwood Front Six-Piston Brake Kit for Jetta/A3/A3 Quattro/Golf/GTI/Rabbit/Eos/Tiguan/Golf R (2005–2014), Black Calipers, 12.88-Inch GT Slotted Rotors

A six-piston Forged Narrow Superlite radial-mount package replaces the front braking hardware on the specifically listed Volkswagen and Audi applications. This black-caliper configuration uses GT slotted 12.88-inch rotors on separate aluminum hats and includes the matching front flex lines. The vehicle list spans several body styles and production years, so the installed upright and model-specific application are more useful identifiers than the VW/Audi platform alone. Wilwood Engineering was founded by Bill Wood in 1977 and is based in Camarillo, California. The company designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components, including calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings, and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance, and specialized applications.

Fitment & Compatibility

Review every applicable VIN and body-style restriction in the table, including Jetta VIN K entries and the distinctions between A3 and A3 Quattro. Golf R, Tiguan, Eos, Rabbit and GTI coverage is year-specific. Check the original wheel mounting arrangement and the 1.10-inch rotor width specified for this assembly. Use the supplied installation drawing to confirm bracket alignment and wheel spacing. Hoses must clear the tire and suspension through full steering lock and travel, with the system balanced to the retained rear brakes.

Match the individual year, model, submodel and equipment conditions in the fitment table below.
