The Wilwood D8-4 Front Caliper Kit offers a direct replacement solution for the original equipment calipers on all Chevrolet Corvettes from 1965 to 1982. Crafted with Type III hard anodized forged billet aluminum bodies, these calipers deliver superior durability and resistance to corrosion. Stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals ensure reliable performance by eliminating common issues such as rust, bore pitting, and seal failures associated with OE calipers. Designed for low-maintenance operation, the D8-4 calipers provide a significant weight reduction, enhancing overall vehicle handling and responsiveness. With six piston pad clamping power, they improve braking efficiency and reduce stopping distances under demanding conditions. The calipers mount in the stock location over original rotors, using the existing D8 brake pads, and fit comfortably within most *67 or newer production wheels. Some wheels, such as 1965-66 OE *JK* steel wheels and select 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 to ensure optimal braking performance and safety. This comprehensive upgrade is ideal for Corvette enthusiasts seeking increased braking power, durability, and reduced maintenance without extensive modifications. It is compatible with a broad range of Corvette models from 1970 through 1981, making it a versatile choice for classic Corvette restoration and performance upgrades.
