Wilwood D8-6 Front Caliper Kit for Chevrolet Corvette C2/C3 1965-1982 – Black

Description

Upgrade your Chevrolet Corvette with the Wilwood D8-6 Front Caliper Kit, specifically designed for models from 1965 through 1982. This kit offers a direct bolt-on replacement for the original equipment calipers, ensuring a straightforward installation process. Constructed with Type III hard anodized forged billet aluminum bodies, these calipers provide exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, eliminating common issues like rust and bore pitting associated with OE calipers. Stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals enhance performance by preventing seal failures and maintaining reliable operation even under demanding driving conditions. The six-piston pad clamping power delivers improved braking force, giving you greater control and stopping power. The calipers mount in the stock location over standard rotors and are compatible with the original style D8 brake pads, fitting snugly inside most ’67 or newer production wheels. Some wheels, including certain OE steel wheels and aftermarket alloys, may require a 3/16” or wider spacer for proper clearance. The kit includes DOT-compliant stainless braided brake lines and high-friction Promatrix brake pads, ensuring a comprehensive upgrade that enhances safety and performance. Whether you’re restoring a classic Corvette or seeking improved braking for spirited driving, these calipers provide low-maintenance performance with significant weight savings and high-temperature reliability, making them an excellent choice for enthusiasts and restorers alike.
