Wilwood Red Six-Piston Front Brake Package, Jetta/A3/A3 Quattro/Golf/GTI/Rabbit/Eos/Tiguan/Golf R (2005–2014), Drilled Rotors

Red Forged Narrow Superlite six-piston calipers distinguish this drilled/slotted Wilwood front package for the listed Audi and Volkswagen vehicles. Its 12.88-inch iron rotor rings mount on aluminum hats, with a dedicated bracket and front-hose arrangement for the supported applications. This is a complete brake-system conversion decision, rather than a caliper selected simply because a wheel has enough nominal diameter. 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

Begin with the individual model/year row and confirm any VIN K, sedan or wagon requirement. The table covers defined applications from 2005 through 2014, with different ranges for each model. Compare the wheel bolt pattern, hub engagement and available spoke depth before ordering. The radial caliper mounting must be set using the installation procedure and checked against the rotor centerline. Recheck steering and suspension clearances with the hoses secured, and assess front/rear balance against the existing master cylinder and rear brake package.

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