Upgrade your Chevrolet Corvette's braking system with the Wilwood D8-4 Rear Caliper Kit, designed specifically for models from 1965 to 1982. These calipers are a direct bolt-on replacement for the original equipment, ensuring an easy installation process without the need for modifications. Featuring Type III hard anodized forged billet aluminum bodies, stainless steel pistons, and high-temperature seals, these calipers combat common issues such as rust, bore pitting, and seal failures that affect OE calipers. This construction not only enhances durability but also ensures consistent performance under demanding conditions. The D8-4 calipers deliver reliable, low-maintenance operation while offering a significant weight reduction compared to stock components. The six-piston pad clamping power provides improved braking force, increasing safety and control during high-performance driving or everyday use. They mount in the stock location over standard rotors and are compatible with the original style D8 brake pads. Designed to fit snugly inside most ’67 or newer production wheels, some older wheel styles, including the 1965-66 OE “JK” steel wheels and 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 optimal stopping power and reliability. Whether upgrading for performance or restoration, the Wilwood D8-4 Rear Caliper Kit offers a robust, lightweight solution that enhances your Corvette’s braking capabilities while maintaining stock appearance and fitment. This product is suitable for enthusiasts seeking dependable performance with minimal maintenance and improved safety. Easy to install and built to last, it represents a significant upgrade for vintage Corvette owners aiming to improve their vehicle’s braking performance.
