Description

Upgrade your Chevrolet Corvette with the Wilwood D8-6 front caliper kit, designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for all 1965-82 models. Featuring Type III hard anodized forged billet aluminum bodies, these calipers offer exceptional durability and resistance to corrosion. Stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals eliminate common issues such as rust, bore pitting, and seal failures found in original equipment manufacturer (OEM) calipers, ensuring low-maintenance performance and longevity. These calipers provide a significant weight savings, enhancing overall vehicle handling and responsiveness while maintaining the original mounting position for straightforward installation. They are compatible with stock rotors and use the original style D8 brake pads, making them an ideal upgrade for classic Corvette enthusiasts seeking improved braking performance without extensive modifications. Some wheels, including certain OE steel wheels and 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 reliable braking under demanding conditions. Suitable for a range of Corvette years from 1970 to 1982, these calipers deliver high-temperature reliability and six-piston pad clamping power for confident stopping power. Whether restoring or upgrading your vehicle, the Wilwood D8-6 calipers provide a precise, high-performance replacement that enhances safety and driving confidence.
