Wilwood 65-68 Chevrolet Impala W/ Drum Spindle Aerolite 6R 14 in Vented GT Rotor Drilled

This Wilwood Aerolite 6R brake kit includes everything you need to upgrade your 1965-1968 Chevrolet Impala's braking system when using drum spindles. You get a pair of forged aluminum Aerolite 6R calipers, a pair of 14-inch diameter vented GT series iron rotors that are drilled for improved heat dissipation, caliper mounting brackets, and all the necessary hardware to get them installed. This kit is designed to give your classic Impala a significant boost in stopping power and fade resistance, making it a solid choice for street driving or more spirited use.

The Aerolite 6R calipers are a popular choice for performance builds. They feature a forged aluminum construction, which keeps them strong yet relatively lightweight. The 6R designation means they use a staggered piston arrangement, with larger pistons on the inside and smaller ones on the outside. This design helps to balance the pad pressure across the rotor surface, leading to more even pad wear and improved braking feel. The 14-inch GT rotors are vented to help manage heat buildup during hard braking, and the drilled pattern further aids in venting gases and moisture away from the pad surface, which helps maintain consistent performance even under demanding conditions. Wilwood is well-known for making robust brake components, and this kit reflects that reputation.

Upgrading your brakes is a critical step for any classic car owner looking to improve both safety and performance. This Wilwood kit offers a substantial improvement over stock drum brakes, providing more clamping force and better heat management. Make sure to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details regarding brake line connections and bleeding procedures.
