Wilwood Drilled/Slotted Front Brake Conversion, Jetta/A3/A3 Quattro/Golf/GTI/Rabbit/Eos/Tiguan/Golf R (2005–2014), Black Calipers

Drilled/slotted 12.88-inch rotor rings and black six-piston calipers are the selected hardware in this Wilwood front conversion. The aluminum-hat assemblies replace the appropriate original rotors on the Volkswagen and Audi vehicles individually listed below. Included front hoses accompany the radial-mount calipers, while the conversion brackets and hardware establish the required position relative to the hub. 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

Confirm whether the car is a sedan, hatchback or wagon and observe the Jetta VIN restrictions rather than selecting by engine size alone. The model range does not imply interchangeability between all Jetta generations or all A3 drivetrains. Inspect the hub seating surface and follow the bracket-shimming procedure in the installation instructions. Proposed wheels require comparison with the full clearance template. Check the hose route at steering lock, then verify pedal travel and brake balance for the completed vehicle.

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