D8-4 calipers are a direct bolt-on replacement for the OE calipers on all 1965-82 Corvettes. Forged billet aluminum bodies, stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals put an end to the rust, bore pitting and seal failures that plague the OE caliper design. D8-4 calipers provide low-maintenance performance, a huge weight savings, and high temperature reliability for street or track. D8-4 calipers mount in the stock location over stock rotors, use the original style D8 brake pads, and fit snugly inside most ’67 or newer production wheels. Some wheels, including the 1965-66 OE “JK” code steel wheels and a few aftermarket replica alloy wheels, will require a 3/16″ or wider wheel spacer for clearance. Kits contain DOT compliant stainless braided brake lines and BP-10 compound “Smart Pads”
GT Series Big Brake Flared Bell hats are precision machined from premium aluminum alloys for high strength and attention to minimized weight. Hats in this category feature threaded rotor mount holes for use with standard through-hole mount rotors. Threaded hole hats may also be used with T-Nuts or bobbins designed for use with specially machined slotted hole dynamic mount rotors. When used in conjunction with matched Wilwood rotor hardware kits, GT hats provide solid, reliable performance in the most demanding conditions.Flared Bell Hats are generally used with rotor mount bolt circles of 8.38″ and larger. Offsets range from 1.88″ to 3.00″ for rotor diameters 12.19″ and up.
Wilwood’s Rear Disc / Drum brackets kits (less caliper brackets) are manufactured from high strength aluminum alloy and use steel 5/16-24 clinch nuts for caliper bracket or accessory mounting. Fully populated with drum parking brake shoes, springs and adjusters. Will require additional caliper brackets to mount with 12.88” to 14.00” hat mount rotors.
Wilwood’s newest DynaPro DP6A Calipers combine pure-bred racing technology with contemporary design to deliver superior braking and high-tech style on a wide range of custom, show, and competition vehicles. This newest model in the DynaPro series features a reinforced triple bridge construction, with five high strength steel bridge bolts, making it the strongest and stiffest DP6 caliper ever built. Offers direct interchange with all 5.25″ pattern lug mount DynaPro and Dynalite calipers. With Forged aluminum, six piston differential bore body and stainless steel pistons with high temperature seals. DP6A calipers accommodate rotors up to 13″inch diameter and widths from .38″ to 1.10″. DP6A calipers are available in gloss black or red powder coat, or Wilwood’s Quick-Silver nickel base plating.
AERO6 calipers were designed for the specific purpose of providing big capacity braking with large diameter rotors for heavy weight and extreme duty vehicles. It’s the biggest of the big, providing big brake performance for show and dual purpose street and track vehicles. It provides big stopping power for enhanced braking with wheel and tire upgrades. Kits listed for specific vehicles are fully compatible with OE master cylinder output and ABS function. Directional staggered vane 14.00” to 15.00” rotors provide maximum cooling for sustained high heat durability.
SRP Drilled Performance Rotors feature a specially engineered directional cross drill and face slot pattern that improve brake response and pad performance throughout the entire range of light to heavy braking. The venting and cleaning action of the holes and slots will reduce pad glaze and disperse gasses and heat generated during the pad to rotor interface. The holes and slots also inhibit irregular pad compound build-up on the rotor faces resulting in smoother engagement and improved pedal response in all conditions. The material removed also contributes to lower rotating and unsprung suspension weight.
Forged Narrow Superlite 4R four piston calipers are combined with BP-10 compound pads and 13″-14″ rotors in this group of big brake kits for custom high performance street and show machines. This group of specialized kits for cars, trucks, and SUV’s retain full use of the OE parking brake, master cylinder output, and ABS where used. FNSL4R rear kits provide complimentary style and performance with 13″ and larger front brake upgrades in conjunction with wheel, tire, and suspension upgrades. Optional caliper finishes and rotor designs enable the builder to match style and performance on all applications.
