Wilwood 55-57 Chevy Bel Air Superlite 6R Kit, 5 x 4.50in/4.75in Hub - 12.88in Slotted Rotor

Wilwood is well-known for making high-performance braking systems that offer a significant step up from stock. This Superlite 6R Big Brake Kit is designed to give your 1955-1957 Chevy Bel Air the stopping power it needs, especially if you've updated the engine or plan on spirited driving. It's a comprehensive package that replaces your original front brakes with a much more capable setup.

This kit features Wilwood's popular Superlite 6R calipers, which are forged from aluminum for a strong yet lightweight housing. They use six pistons per caliper to apply even pressure across the 12.88-inch slotted rotors. The slotted design helps to clear out dust and gas that can build up during hard braking, ensuring consistent performance and reducing the chance of fade. The rotors are designed to work with hubs that have either a 5 x 4.50-inch or 5 x 4.75-inch bolt pattern, giving you flexibility depending on your wheel choice. Everything you need to convert your front brakes is included in this kit, making it a straightforward upgrade for your classic Chevy.

When installing a big brake kit like this, it's important to ensure you have adequate clearance for the calipers and rotors within your wheels. Wilwood generally designs their kits to fit popular aftermarket wheels, but it's always a good idea to check wheel clearance diagrams if you're using original or less common wheel styles. This kit is a substantial upgrade that will noticeably change how your Bel Air handles and stops.
