Wilwood 12.19-inch Plain Front Rotors with Red Dynapro Calipers — VW Beetle 1.8T 1999–2005, Audi TT 1.8 2000–2006, Selected Golf / Jetta IV 1999.5–2005

The red/plain-disc arrangement uses dust-seal Dynapro calipers on the listed five-lug front hubs. At the front axle, this kit pairs red powder-coated 4-piston calipers and 12.19-inch plain-face rotors with the mounting hardware for Volkswagen Golf IV / Jetta IV / Beetle and Audi TT. Based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering was founded by Bill Wood in 1977. It designs and manufactures disc brake systems for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications, with a range including calipers, rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. Selecting the mounting and hydraulic components together is part of building the complete brake system.

Technical Details

• Manufacturer part number: 140-8276-R.
• Rotor dimensions: 12.19 in; 309.63 mm diameter x 0.81 in; 20.57 mm thick.
• Rotor construction: Iron; vented; Plain Face friction surface.
• Wheel-size guide: 15 in; 381 mm minimum nominal diameter; verify actual template clearance.
• Calipers: 4 pistons; forged aluminum; stainless steel pistons.
• Caliper attachment: radial mount; 1/8-27 NPT hydraulic inlet.

• Rotor/hat stud-hole clearance diameters: 0.580 in; 14.73 mm. These are hole sizes, not wheel-stud thread specifications.
• The rotor/hat drilling does not change the vehicle hub or axle wheel bolt pattern.
• Sold as one kit. Mounting hardware is included. Hubs are not included.
• Brake pads are included; use the compound and installation instructions specified for this rotor package.
• Spindles, master cylinder, brake booster and hydraulic brake lines are not included.

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.

The listed applications below retain their equipment qualifiers. Check the matching row and each referenced note before selecting the kit.
