Construction & Design:
The Wilwood Narrow Superlite 4R calipers are forged from high-strength aluminum alloy, providing an excellent balance of rigidity and weight savings. This forging process enhances structural integrity, allowing the calipers to withstand high thermal and mechanical stresses encountered during aggressive braking. The calipers feature a narrow profile to fit within tight wheel clearances common on import sports cars like the Subaru BRZ.
The rotors are crafted from premium-grade iron with a smooth, precision-machined surface to ensure consistent pad contact and heat dissipation. The BP-10 brake pads utilize a proprietary compound designed to deliver strong initial bite, fade resistance, and long service life. Together, these components form a cohesive braking system engineered for durability and performance.
Installation & Fitment:
This rear brake kit is designed for direct bolt-on installation on Subaru BRZ models from 2013 to 2017, requiring no modifications to the vehicle’s existing brake system. It retains the use of the original parking brake mechanism and interfaces seamlessly with the factory master cylinder and ABS components. Installation can typically be completed with standard hand tools and basic mechanical knowledge, though professional installation is recommended for optimal results and safety.
