Product details
The Dynapro 6 front brake kit combines six-piston lug-mount calipers with 12.19-inch rotors and separate short-offset hats. It is a conversion for the documented PT Cruiser and Neon SRT-4 front hub/upright arrangement. Red calipers and 12.19-inch plain face rotors are the selected configuration. Based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering was established by Bill Wood in 1977. Its disc brake systems serve motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines are matched to the requirements of the whole system.
Technical Details
- Product identification: Wilwood 140-16827-R. Package quantity: one kit for the stated configuration.
- The brake package includes pads and required mounting hardware, excluding spindles, master cylinder and booster.

- Check the wheel-clearance diagram before purchase; the nominal minimum wheel diameter is 15 inches.
- Connect the hydraulic line through the 1/8-27 NPT caliper inlet.

Fitment & Compatibility
PT Cruiser entries span 2001–2010 with rear-drum and rear-disc configurations, including the specifically listed turbocharged versions. Neon SRT-4 coverage is 2003–2005 only; do not treat that as fitment for every Neon. Match the exact year and factory brake option, retained hub, hat register and wheel-clearance drawing. Some 15-inch wheels may clear, subject to the drawing. Confirm all year, model and brake-package details against the application table below, including the notes attached to each row.
