Wilwood D8-4 Front Caliper Kit for Chevrolet Corvette C2/C3 1965-1982

Description

Upgrade your Corvette’s braking system with the Wilwood D8-4 Front Caliper Kit, designed specifically for Chevrolet Corvette models from 1965 to 1982. These direct bolt-on replacements ensure a seamless installation process, restoring and enhancing your vehicle’s braking performance. The calipers feature Type III hard anodized forged billet aluminum bodies, which provide exceptional durability and corrosion resistance. Stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals eliminate common issues such as rust, bore pitting, and seal failures found in original equipment calipers, offering a significant reduction in maintenance and increased reliability. Built for high-temperature reliability, these six-piston calipers deliver superior pad clamping power, improving braking responsiveness and control during demanding driving conditions. The D8-4 calipers mount in the stock location over original rotors, maintaining the classic look and fitment. They are compatible with the original style D8 brake pads and fit snugly inside most ’67 or newer production wheels. Some wheels, including specific OE steel wheels and aftermarket alloys, may require a 3/16” or wider wheel spacer for adequate clearance. The kit includes DOT-compliant stainless braided brake lines and high-friction Promatrix brake pads, ensuring optimal braking performance and safety. These calipers are an excellent choice for Corvette enthusiasts seeking a low-maintenance, high-performance upgrade that retains the vehicle’s authentic appearance while delivering enhanced braking power and reliability.
