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

Wilwood is well-known for making high-performance braking systems that offer a significant step up from stock. This Aerolite 6R Big Brake Kit is a prime example, designed specifically for 1965 through 1968 Chevrolet Impalas that originally came with drum brakes on the spindle. If you're looking to dramatically improve your classic Impala's stopping power and heat management, this kit is a solid choice.

This kit features Wilwood's Aerolite 6R calipers, which are a popular choice for their compact size and robust construction. They house six pistons, allowing for even pressure distribution across the larger 14-inch GT series vented rotors. These rotors are designed to handle increased heat generated during hard braking, helping to prevent fade and maintain consistent performance. The calipers come in a striking red finish, adding a custom look to your front end. This kit is designed to work with drum brake spindles, simplifying the installation process for those specific applications.

When upgrading to a big brake kit like this, it's important to consider the overall braking system. While this kit provides the front braking components, you may want to ensure your rear brakes and master cylinder are up to the task of balancing the improved front stopping force. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for detailed guidance on fitting these components to your vehicle's drum brake spindles.
