The Wilwood D8-4 Rear Caliper Kit is a high-performance replacement designed specifically for Chevrolet Corvette models from 1965 to 1982. Featuring Type III hard anodized forged billet aluminum bodies, these calipers provide exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, addressing common issues like rust, bore pitting, and seal failures found in original equipment manufacturer (OE) calipers. Stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals ensure reliable operation under demanding driving conditions, reducing maintenance needs and improving overall braking performance. This caliper kit offers a significant weight reduction compared to stock components, contributing to improved handling and responsiveness. With six-piston pad clamping power, the D8-4 calipers deliver increased braking force, ensuring confident stops in various driving scenarios. They mount in the stock location over stock rotors and accommodate the original style D8 brake pads. Most *67 or newer production wheels fit snugly around these calipers, although some wheels, including certain OEM steel wheels and aftermarket alloy wheels, may require a 3/16* or wider wheel spacer for proper clearance. The kit includes DOT-compliant stainless braided brake lines and high-friction Promatrix brake pads, providing a comprehensive upgrade solution for Corvette enthusiasts seeking enhanced braking performance and reliability. Whether restoring a classic Corvette or upgrading for performance driving, the Wilwood D8-4 caliper kit is engineered to meet demanding standards and ensure long-lasting, low-maintenance operation.
