Upgrade your Chevrolet Corvette with the Wilwood D8-6 Front Brake Caliper Kit, designed specifically for models from 1965 through 1982. These calipers are a direct bolt-on replacement for original equipment manufacturer (OEM) calipers, ensuring a seamless fit and easy installation. Crafted with Type III hard anodized forged billet aluminum bodies, they offer exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, preventing rust, bore pitting, and seal failures common with stock calipers. Stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals further enhance performance, providing reliable braking under demanding conditions. The D8-6 calipers deliver six-piston pad clamping power, improving braking response and overall stopping performance for your classic Corvette. They mount in the stock location over stock rotors and accommodate the original D8 brake pads, making them a perfect upgrade without modifying existing components. These calipers fit snugly inside most *67 or newer production wheels, although some wheels like the 1965-66 OE *JK* steel wheels or certain aftermarket alloys 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, ensuring high-performance braking with low maintenance. Whether you're restoring or enhancing your Corvette, these Wilwood D8-6 calipers provide a combination of lightweight construction, high-temperature reliability, and increased clamping power, making them an excellent choice for street or track use. Engineered for fit and performance, the Wilwood D8-6 calipers are a durable, high-quality upgrade that maintains the original look while delivering modern braking performance.
