Wilwood front brake caliper and rotor kit - Powerlite PL4R radial mount calipers with Vented, Plain Discs. 

Upgrade your Porsche 914 (1970–1972) with the Wilwood Forged Powerlite PL4R Radial Brake Kit. Using OE hubs, it pairs 4-piston calipers, stainless flexlines and pads for stronger, cooler, more durable braking — all within 15” wheels.

Min Wheel Diameter Required: 15 inch
Spindle Type Used: Factory Disc Spindle
Mount Type: Radial
Caliper Type: 4 piston - Powder Coated
Rotor Size: 11.38 x 0.81 inches (289mm x 20mm)

Fits:
Porsche 914/4 - 1970 to 1972

Rigid Powerlite PL4R Front Brake Kit using OE hubs

Many of the Porsche 914 sports cars that continue to be driven today are now modified with more power than the original VW flat four-cylinder engine. With that added power comes the need to upgrade the braking system and Wilwood Disc Brakes has the perfect solution.
New front brake kits are now available for 1970-76 Porsche 914/4 when used with a 
914/6 or 911, 19mm master cylinder. 

Kits include forged aluminum Powerlite four piston calipers, brackets and hubs, combined with larger plain face or SRP drilled and slotted vented rotors. Wilwood’s upgraded brake kits weigh substantially less than the smaller, unvented factory brakes with iron calipers and will help with the power and performance of your Porsche 914

Kit Features:

  • Forged aluminum calipers are lighter and stiffer than cast iron and have been proven over decades in countless road races, rally and off-road competitions
  • Aluminum mounting rotor adapters, brackets and hubs make the kits substantially lighter than stock while increasing braking performance and stamina
  • Wheel studs are included with the front kits (user to supply correct lug nuts for wheels being used)
  • Rigid Powerlite four piston radial-mount calipers are engineered to improve braking performance and feature pistons size

Calipers: Powerlite PL4R

  • Rigid Powerlite four piston radial-mount calipers are engineered to improve braking performance and feature pistons sized to maintain the 914’s proper front-to-rear brake bias
  • Caliper profile allows fitment in many small diameter wheels and quick-clip top pad retainer allows fast pad changes 
  • Calipers are finished in durable gloss red or gloss black powder coat
  • Rear kits include Wilwood’s MC4 mechanical parking brake in left and right-hand configuration, plus the needed cable kit

Rotors: Spec37 Plain or SRP Drilled & Slotted

  • Larger and thicker vented rotors provide greater brake torque and resist thermal distortion with curved vanes that circulate cooling air
  • Both front and rear rotors are 289mm x 20mm (11.38”x0.81”) premium proprietary Spec37 iron alloy rotors with 36 curved vanes
  • Both front and rear rotors are available in a precision plain face or SRP drilled and slotted patter

Brake Pads: BP-10

  • BP-10 street performance pads provide smooth and consistent response with long wear over a broad range of temperatures

Installation Parts:

  • Kits include caliper brackets, Flexlines and premium grade installation hardware

Why Upgrade to Forged Powerlite PL4R?

  • Forged Strength: Lightweight forged aluminum calipers resist flex and heat.
  • Compact Design: Quick-clip pad retainer allows fast pad swaps and clearance inside smaller wheels.
  • Rotor Options: Choose plain vented rotors or SRP drilled & slotted with protective e-coat.
  • Durability: Stainless steel pistons slow heat transfer and resist corrosion.
  • Style: Calipers available in gloss black or red powder coat.
  • Complete Kit: Includes calipers, rotors, brackets, pads, stainless flexlines, and hardware.

Ideal For: Porsche 914 (1970
–1972) owners who want modern motorsport-grade braking while retaining OE hubs and factory balance.

About Wilwood Disc Brakes

Wilwood Disc Brakes - High-Performance Braking Systems for Road, Track & Motorsport

Wilwood disc brakes are engineered for high-performance braking control, reduced weight, and exceptional heat management across road, track-day, and motorsport applications. Known for advanced caliper design, lightweight materials, and race-proven engineering, Wilwood braking systems deliver strong, consistent stopping power with excellent pedal feel and modulation.

At Design911, our range of Wilwood disc brake components and kits includes calipers, discs, pads, and complete brake system upgrades designed to improve braking performance, durability, and driver confidence. Whether upgrading a performance road car, building a track-focused vehicle, or supporting motorsport use, Wilwood brakes offer precision, reliability, and adaptability.

What Do Wilwood Disc Brakes Do?

Wilwood disc brakes convert kinetic energy into controlled stopping force with efficiency and precision.

Core Functions:

  • Deliver powerful, consistent braking under high load.
  • Improve heat dissipation to reduce brake fade.
  • Provide precise pedal modulation and feedback.
  • Reduce unsprung weight with lightweight caliper designs.
  • Support high-performance and competition braking systems.

Their modular design allows braking performance to be tailored to specific driving styles and vehicle setups.

Why Do Brake Components Wear or Fail?

Braking systems are exposed to extreme thermal and mechanical stress, particularly in performance use.

Common Causes of Wear or Failure Include:

  • Heat build-up leading to brake fade or material breakdown.
  • Pad and disc wear from aggressive braking.
  • Thermal cycling causing distortion or cracking.
  • Seal degradation in calipers due to age or heat exposure.
  • Using standard brakes beyond their performance limits.

As components wear or degrade, braking efficiency and safety are compromised—making timely replacement essential.

Why Replace or Upgrade with Wilwood Disc Brakes?

Upgrading to Wilwood disc brakes provides a significant improvement in braking performance and reliability.

Key Benefits:

  • High-performance calipers with superior clamping force.
  • Lightweight construction for improved handling response.
  • Excellent heat management for fade-resistant braking.
  • Wide range of configurations for road, track, and motorsport.
  • Easy serviceability with readily available performance pads and discs.

Wilwood brakes are an ideal choice for drivers seeking precision braking and long-term durability in demanding conditions.

Highlights

  • High-performance disc brake systems and components.
  • Lightweight, race-inspired caliper designs.
  • Strong, consistent braking with excellent pedal feel.
  • Suitable for performance road cars, track builds, and motorsport.
  • Trusted braking technology used worldwide in competition.       

Porsche Brake Disc Upgrades: Venting, Drilling, and Grooving Explained

Today we’re talking brake discs: the unsung heroes of your Porsche’s stopping power. What do they do? How can you tell when they need replacing? And what are the upgrade options for enhanced performance? It’s all here. We’ll explore the evolution of brake disc designs, from solid to vented, drilled, and grooved, explaining how each type improves performance. Plus, we’ll break down the materials: durable cast iron, high-carbon steel, and Porsche’s high-performance options like carbon ceramic and surface-coated discs. Whether you’re looking for better braking on the track or a cost-effective daily driving solution, we’ve got you covered.
