Wilwood 88-98 Chevy Silverado Forged Dynalite 12.19x0.81 Drill/Slot Rear Drum to Disc Conv. - Red

If you're looking to significantly upgrade the braking performance on your 1988-1998 Chevy Silverado, this rear drum-to-disc conversion kit from Wilwood is a solid choice. This kit replaces your factory rear drum brakes with a more powerful and responsive disc brake system, which is crucial for trucks that see heavier use or have had their performance modified. Upgrading the rear brakes helps balance the braking force, especially when you're hauling loads or towing, leading to more confident stops.

Wilwood is well-known for its high-performance braking components, and this kit is no exception. It features their Forged Dynalite calipers, which are forged from aluminum for a strong yet lightweight design. These calipers are paired with 12.19-inch diameter rotors that are both drilled and slotted. The drilling helps reduce weight and dissipate heat, while the slots help to clear away dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor surface, ensuring consistent braking performance even under demanding conditions. The calipers come in a striking red finish, adding a custom look to your truck's rear end.

This kit is designed as a direct bolt-on for the specified Silverado models, simplifying the installation process. It includes all the necessary components to convert your rear drum brakes to discs, though you may need to consider a proportioning valve to properly balance the front and rear brake bias for optimal performance. This conversion is a significant step towards achieving a more robust and reliable braking system for your truck.
