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

If you're looking to significantly upgrade the braking performance on your 1955-1957 Chevy Bel Air, this Wilwood Superlite 6R Big Brake Kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed to give your classic Chevy the stopping power it needs to match its looks and potential performance, especially if you've modified the engine or plan on spirited driving. It replaces your stock drum or smaller disc brakes with a modern, high-performance system.

At the heart of this kit are the Wilwood Superlite 6R calipers, known for their robust construction and consistent performance. These calipers grip large 12.88-inch diameter, slotted rotors. The slots help to vent gases and dust away from the pad surface, which means more reliable stopping power, especially during repeated hard braking. The calipers come in a striking red finish, adding a visual pop behind your wheels. This kit is engineered to work with common 5 x 4.50-inch and 5 x 4.75-inch bolt pattern hubs, making it adaptable to many custom wheel setups common on these classic cars.

This is a comprehensive kit, meaning it includes the calipers, rotors, necessary brackets, and hardware to get the job done. While it's a big brake kit, Wilwood designs these systems for a direct fit onto the specified vehicle applications, simplifying the installation process compared to custom fabrication. Upgrading your brakes is one of the most important modifications you can make for safety and driving enjoyment, and this Wilwood kit offers a substantial improvement over stock.
