Whether your vehicle is equipped with a heavy dose of horsepower from the factory or you’ve added weight with larger tires and gear for exploring off-road, chances are the brakes could be improved. Wilwood has developed bolt-on Aero6-DM Direct Mount Front Brake kits to upgrade braking performance on many late-model trucks, SUV’s, Jeeps and Sprinter Vans using the Aerolite six piston caliper, reengineered for simplified direct mounting. These kits provide enhanced braking and grade-descent slowing on-road and greater low-speed modulation off-road for heavier and extreme duty vehicles. Sprinter Vans even have an option to install an Aero4 rear kit.
Most trucks and SUVs do fine with factory brakes designed to be used in normal driving conditions with stock wheels and weight when driving off the dealership lot, but their limits become obvious very quickly when coming down a long hill while towing a trailer, hauling a load, adding overlanding items, or once a lift kit and bigger tires are installed.
Wilwood's Aero6-DM kits mount directly to your OE Spindles/hubs and feature forged aluminum, Aerolite six piston calipers with a closed central bridge and GTB slotted or SRP drilled & slotted one-piece rotors made from a premium long-grain iron alloy that can handle more heat without distortion. Depending on the application, rotors are 13.31”- 13.56” tall x 1.25”- 1.30” wide and come black e-coated for better corrosion resistance. Kits also include braided stainless steel flex lines and large fade-resistant BP-22 brake pads formulated to provide predictable engagement with improved pedal feel and fit behind most OEM and aftermarket 17-inch or larger wheels.
Wilwood has made it easy to upgrade the brakes with Aero6-DM kits on many popular late-model Ford F-150s, high-powered Raptors, late-model Broncos (4 cyl.), Expeditions, and select Lincoln Navigators. Replacing the heavy factory cast iron single piston sliding calipers with forged aluminum Wilwood fixed mount Aero6-DM calipers and larger rotors will increase performance and repeatability with an improved pedal feel for more confident braking. Larger brake pads and vented rotors have more thermal capacity, allowing better heat dissipation for high-demand highway, off-road, hauling, and overlanding applications.

Calipers come in either gloss black or red powder coat, and many other colors (additional charges apply). Rotor options are GTB slotted or SRP drilled and slotted and come with BP-22 brake pads and stainless-steel lines. These Aero6-DM brake kits are designed to work with the factory master cylinder, ABS, onboard computer systems, and most 17" wheels.
Since many of these GM 1500 vehicles are used to haul heavy loads, tow travel trailers and boats, or carry large families and all their luggage, many owners soon realize the factory brakes may not be up to the task. Wilwood has taken the guesswork out of upgrading the brakes with the Aero6-DM kit on many popular late-model GM 1500 Trucks & SUV’s, including the Silverado, Suburban, Tahoe, Sierra, Yukon, and Cadillac Escalade. Replacing the heavy factory cast iron single piston sliding calipers with forged aluminum Wilwood fixed mount Aero6-DM calipers and larger rotors will increase performance and repeatability with an improved pedal feel for more confident braking.

Most Jeep owners have a hard time leaving their vehicles looking stock, as who doesn’t want their rig to look different than anyone else’s? Whether you’re building it for cruising down the highway or off-roading, adding a lift with bigger tires along with overlanding gear, you’ll soon notice all that extra weight can add up fast. Wilwood has the answer for underperforming factory brakes with an Aero6-DM brake upgrade for the JK, JL Wranglers, and JT Gladiator models, including the popular Rubicon and 392 trim levels. Replacing the heavy factory cast iron single piston sliding calipers with forged aluminum Wilwood fixed mount Aero6-DM calipers and larger rotors will increase performance and repeatability with an improved pedal feel for more confident braking. Larger brake pads and vented rotors have more thermal capacity, allowing better heat dissipation for high-demand highway, off-road, hauling, and overlanding applications.

Toyota owners, especially those who love the outdoors, like to make a great vehicle even better with modifications to the suspension, larger wheels and tires, and any type of gear that makes camping more enjoyable, like rooftop tents, awnings, and even portable refrigerators. All this added weight tends to make the vehicle harder to slow down with factory brakes, but Wilwood’s Aero6-DM upgraded brake kit can help tremendously on many late-model Tacoma, Tundra, and 4Runner models, including the popular TRD and TRD Pro trim levels. Replacing the heavy factory cast iron single piston sliding calipers with forged aluminum Wilwood fixed mount Aero6-DM calipers and larger rotors will increase performance and repeatability with an improved pedal feel for more confident braking.

Sprinter Vans have become synonymous with Overlanding and getting outdoors, traveling the back roads. Becoming more off-road worthy usually entails adding a lift, bigger tires, racks and overlanding gear outside, while inside they are getting more creature comforts by adding a bed, kitchenette, and cabinets, so the weight can stack up in a hurry. Wilwood has the answer for what now might be considered “under-performing” factory brakes with both a Front Aero6-DM kit and Rear Aero4-DM kit upgrade for Sprinter Van 2500 AWD or RWD models. Replacing the heavy factory cast iron single piston sliding calipers with forged aluminum Wilwood fixed mount Aero-DM calipers and larger rotors will increase performance and repeatability with an improved pedal feel for more confident braking. Larger brake pads and vented rotors have more thermal capacity, allowing better heat dissipation for high-demand highway, off-road, hauling, and overlanding applications.
