Wilwood Disc Brakes Releases 1970-76 Porsche 914 Front and Rear Big Brake Kits
Camarillo, CA • April 2024
Many Porsche 914 sports cars that continue to be driven today are modified with considerably more
power. With added power comes the need to upgrade the braking system, and Wilwood Disc Brakes
is the perfect solution for front and rear kits. Forged aluminum four piston calipers, brackets, and hubs,
combined with oversize vented rotors, upgrade your 1970-76 Porsche 914’s braking performance.
Wilwood’s forged aluminum components yield a 53% reduction in unsprung rotating mass compared
to the smaller original equipment brakes.
Rigid, motorsports-proven, Powerlite calipers feature piston sizes explicitly designed for proper
front-to-rear bias. Premium proprietary Spec37 iron alloy directional 289mm (11.38”) x 20mm (0.81”)
rotors are a larger diameter and wider than the solid factory rotors while offering 36 curved vanes to
dissipate heat. Rotor options are plain face, or SRP drilled and slotted.
Rear kits feature Wilwood’s mechanical MC4 parking brake for right and left-hand application and
include the necessary cable kit. Calipers are available in gloss red or black powder coat, or 24 optional
colors (additional charges apply). Street-friendly BP-10 performance brake pads are included, and
other compounds are available for your application. NOTE: these kits must be used with a 914/6 or
911, 19mm master cylinder.
