Wilwood GT Slotted 12.88-Inch Front Brake Kit with Red Calipers for Jetta/A3/A3 Quattro/Golf/GTI/Rabbit/Eos/Tiguan/Golf R (2005–2014)

This Wilwood front kit retains slotted friction faces while adding red six-piston radial-mount calipers and separate-hat 12.88-inch rotors to the supported Volkswagen and Audi fitments. The package includes front flex lines, mounting components and pads matched to the selected brake arrangement. Correct wheel, upright and hydraulic-system compatibility remain essential across the varied vehicles shown in the application table. 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 the precise year and body configuration, with special attention to Jetta VIN K entries and the A3 versus Quattro listings. A Golf R application does not establish fitment for a different Golf generation. Follow the rotor and bracket assembly instructions, inspect the original hubs and use the clearance diagram for the actual wheel design. Ensure that line fittings match and that the hoses do not stretch or contact adjacent parts. Set the completed system up with appropriate pedal travel and rear-brake balance.

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