This Wilwood Superlite 6R Big Brake Kit is designed for 1955-1957 Chevrolet Bel Air models, offering a significant upgrade to your classic car's braking system. It includes everything needed to replace your stock front brakes with a high-performance setup featuring 14-inch diameter rotors and robust 6-piston calipers. This kit is ideal for owners looking to improve stopping power for street driving, track days, or vehicles with engine swaps and other modifications that increase weight or speed.

The kit utilizes Wilwood's well-known Superlite 6R calipers, known for their strength and consistent performance.

The rotors feature internal vanes designed to help dissipate heat effectively, reducing the risk of brake fade. The hub assembly is designed to fit common 5 x 4.50-inch and 5 x 4.75-inch bolt patterns, making it versatile for various custom wheel setups.

Installation involves replacing your existing front brake components. The kit comes with all the necessary hardware for assembly, including the calipers, rotors, hubs, brake lines specific to the kit, and mounting brackets. Wilwood is a popular choice for performance braking systems, and this kit represents a comprehensive solution for those wanting to enhance the safety and performance of their classic Chevy.
