Product details
Red calipers surround the SRP discs in this engine-specific VW/Audi brake conversion. For Volkswagen Golf IV / Jetta IV / Beetle and Audi TT, Wilwood specifies red powder-coated 4-piston calipers and 12.19-inch SRP drilled-and-slotted rotors in this front package. Bill Wood founded Wilwood Engineering in 1977. From 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. This kit should be matched to the hydraulic and mechanical requirements of the complete vehicle.
Package and installation requirements
- Front line-kit reference 220-8279 is supplied separately; confirm the exact application and routing.
Fitment & Compatibility
Engine and generation limits matter for this Volkswagen/Audi kit. Beetle coverage is 1999–2005 with the 1.8 Turbo; Audi TT entries are 2000–2006 with the 1.8-liter engine. Golf IV and Jetta IV applications are the listed VR6 and 1.8 Turbo versions within 1999.5–2005. The 1999.5 Golf row also specifies production from September 1998, so check the actual generation at that changeover. The five-lug hub remains on the vehicle: the rotor hat’s clearance drilling does not change its wheel pattern. Dust seals are part of the radial Dynapro caliper design, and DS469 identifies the mounting arrangement and wheel envelope. The larger front rotor requires a wheel-template check even when the factory wheel diameter appears sufficient. Use the complete engine and model row below to confirm compatibility.
Review the fitment table and numbered notes below together; a matching model name alone does not establish the installation.
