Founded in 1977, Wilwood Engineering set out on a mission to design and manufacture high-performance disc brake systems tailored for racing and street use. Built from the ground up in Camarillo, California, Wilwood specializes in lightweight forged and billet aluminum calipers, two-piece cross-drilled/slotted vented rotors, proportioning blocks, master cylinders, balance bars, and complete brake kits—all engineered and assembled in-house.
Wilwood pioneered modular brake solutions that allow enthusiasts, hot-rodders, and pro outfitters to precisely balance braking bias and pedal feel. Their Dynalite™ and Forged Narrow 4 calipers, along with vented AeroRotor rotors, are staples in drag racing, autocross, road courses, and street-performance builds. With motorsport pedigree in NHRA, SCCA, and drag series, Wilwood’s brake systems are tested in the toughest environments. Their USA-based R&D leverages FEA modeling, flow analysis, and real-world dyno testing.
Supported by expert technical support, online engineering tools, and a vast network of authorized installers, Wilwood delivers modular, high-performance brake solutions engineered to fit any vehicle—from street machines to track-day racers and pro-class competition builds.
