Wilwood Engineering has launched the Aero6-DM direct-mount brake kits for 2013-18 RAM 1500 trucks. These high-performance kits offer a straightforward bolt-on installation and compatibility with most 17-inch and larger wheels. Designed to integrate seamlessly with factory rear brakes, master cylinders, ABS, and onboard computer systems, they deliver improved braking performance for various driving conditions.

Key Highlights:

  • Enhanced Braking Performance: Features forged aluminum six-piston Aerolite calipers for improved clamping force and better pedal feel.
  • High-Quality Rotors: 13.38” x 1.25” premium long-grain carbon iron alloy rotors provide increased thermal capacity. Available in GTB slotted or SRP drilled and slotted options.
  • Durable Construction: Includes e-coated 48-vane rotors and stainless steel braided Flexline kits for added reliability and longevity.
  • Customizable Appearance: Calipers come in gloss red or black powder coat with 24 additional color options available for an extra charge.
  • Versatile Applications: Suitable for daily street driving, highway use, off-road applications, towing, hauling, and commercial workloads.

The Aero6-DM kits also include Wilwood’s BP-Q ceramic-based brake pads, formulated for optimal performance in both everyday driving and high-demand situations. These larger pads and rotors provide greater thermal capacity, ensuring consistent braking even in extreme conditions.

Wilwood’s dedication to quality is evident in the design of the Aero6-DM kits. The forged aluminum calipers are engineered for direct mounting to the RAM spindle, ensuring ease of installation and superior performance. With a starting MSRP of $1,787.51, these kits offer a high-value upgrade for RAM 1500 owners seeking improved braking capabilities.
