Upgrade your Chevrolet Corvette with the Wilwood D8-4 Front Caliper Kit, designed specifically for models from 1965 through 1982. These calipers feature Type III hard anodized forged billet aluminum bodies, providing exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals enhance performance by eliminating common issues like rust, bore pitting, and seal failures found in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) calipers. This advanced design ensures low-maintenance operation, high-temperature reliability, and significant weight savings, making it a practical choice for Corvette enthusiasts seeking improved braking performance. The D8-4 calipers mount in the stock location over original rotors, allowing for straightforward installation without modifications. They are compatible with the original style D8 brake pads and fit snugly inside most *67 or newer production wheels. Note that some wheels, such as 1965-66 OE *JK* steel wheels or certain aftermarket alloy wheels, may require a 3/16* or wider wheel spacer for proper clearance. Each kit includes DOT-compliant stainless braided brake lines and high-friction Promatrix brake pads, ensuring optimal stopping power and safety. These calipers are ideal for Corvette owners who want a reliable, high-performance braking upgrade that maintains factory mounting points and fits seamlessly within the vehicle*s existing wheel and rotor setup. Whether you*re restoring a classic or enhancing your daily driver, the Wilwood D8-4 caliper kit offers a combination of strength, efficiency, and longevity for your Corvette*s braking system.
