Key Features and Specifications
- Six-Piston Forged Aluminum Calipers: The AERO6-DM calipers, finished in vibrant red powder-coat, provide significant clamping force for precise and powerful braking. These lightweight, forged aluminum calipers are designed for heavy-weight vehicles, ensuring durability and performance in demanding scenarios.
- 13.38-Inch Drilled and Slotted Rotors: Constructed from premium long-grain carbon iron alloy, the 13.38” x 1.25” rotors feature a drilled and slotted design for enhanced heat dissipation, reduced brake fade, and improved wet-weather performance. The SRP rotors maximize cooling for sustained high-heat durability.
- BP-Q Ceramic-Based Brake Pads: Included Wilwood SmartPad BP-Q pads offer a dual-sport formulation, balancing high-performance braking with everyday street driving comfort. These fade-resistant pads ensure consistent stopping power.
- Stainless Steel Braided Brake Lines: The kit includes high-quality stainless steel braided lines, delivering a firmer pedal feel and increased durability compared to stock rubber hoses, for a more responsive braking experience.
- Direct-Mount Design: Engineered for straightforward installation, the AERO6-DM kit bolts directly to the OEM spindle, requiring no modifications or adapters. Installation typically requires light to moderate mechanical skill and standard hand tools.
- Compatibility: Fully compatible with 2015-2023 Toyota Tacoma 2WD and 4WD models, ensuring seamless integration with factory systems.
