Upgrade your Corvette's braking system with the Wilwood D8-4 Rear Caliper Kit, specifically designed for Chevrolet Corvette models from 1965 through 1982. These calipers are a direct bolt-on replacement for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) parts, ensuring an easy installation process without the need for modifications. Constructed with Type III hard anodized forged billet aluminum bodies, they offer exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. Stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals eliminate common issues such as rust, bore pitting, and seal failures associated with stock calipers, providing you with low-maintenance, reliable performance. The design features six piston pad clamping power, delivering improved braking force and modulation for enhanced safety and confidence behind the wheel. These calipers mount in the stock location over compatible rotors and are compatible with the original style D8 brake pads. They fit snugly inside most *67 or newer production wheels, though some wheels, including certain OE steel wheels and aftermarket alloys, may require a 3/16-inch or wider wheel spacer for proper clearance. The kit includes DOT-compliant stainless braided brake lines and high-friction Promatrix brake pads, ensuring optimal braking performance and safety. Whether you're restoring a classic Corvette or enhancing your vehicle's braking capabilities, the Wilwood D8-4 calipers provide a high-performance upgrade that combines weight savings, high-temperature reliability, and reduced maintenance requirements. These calipers are suitable for street use and are built to meet the demands of spirited driving and frequent braking scenarios, making them an excellent choice for enthusiasts and professionals alike.
