Upgrade your Chevrolet Corvette with the Wilwood D8-6 front caliper kit, designed specifically for models from 1965 through 1982. Constructed with Type III hard anodized forged billet aluminum bodies, these calipers offer exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion, eliminating common issues like rust, bore pitting, and seal failures found in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) calipers. Stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals ensure reliable, low-maintenance performance even under demanding driving conditions. These calipers deliver six-piston pad clamping power, providing improved braking response and increased stopping power compared to stock units. The D8-6 calipers mount directly in the stock location over stock rotors, utilizing the original style D8 brake pads for ease of installation and compatibility with most *67 or newer production wheels. Some wheels, such as 1965-66 OE *JK* steel wheels and certain aftermarket alloy wheels, may require a 3/16-inch or wider wheel spacer for proper clearance. This kit includes DOT-compliant stainless braided brake lines and high-friction Promatrix brake pads, ensuring high-performance braking with minimal maintenance. Whether you're restoring a classic Corvette or enhancing its braking capability, these calipers are a reliable upgrade that combines modern engineering with OEM compatibility, providing consistent, high-temperature reliability and significant weight savings for improved handling and performance.
