Wilwood 88-98 Chevy Silverado Forged Dynalite 12.19x0.81 Plain Rear Drum to Disc Conv. - Black

This Wilwood Forged Dynalite rear drum to disc conversion kit is designed for 1988 through 1998 Chevrolet Silverado trucks. If you're looking to significantly improve your truck's braking performance, especially if you've already upgraded the front brakes or plan to haul heavier loads, converting your rear drum brakes to disc brakes is a smart move. This kit replaces your factory drum setup with a more robust disc brake system, offering better heat dissipation and more consistent stopping power.

Wilwood is known for its well-built brake components, and this kit is no exception. It features forged aluminum Dynalite calipers, which are strong yet lightweight, helping to reduce unsprung weight. The calipers are finished in black for a clean look. The kit includes 12.19-inch diameter, 0.81-inch thick plain rotors that provide ample surface area for effective braking. All the necessary brackets, hardware, and lines are included to make the conversion as straightforward as possible, assuming you have the basic tools and mechanical knowledge for brake work. This upgrade is particularly beneficial for trucks that see frequent use or are driven in varied conditions, as disc brakes generally offer superior performance over drums, especially under heavy braking.

When installing this kit, remember that you will likely need to adjust your master cylinder and proportioning valve to properly balance the braking system between the front and rear. It's always a good idea to consult Wilwood's specific installation instructions for your model year truck to ensure everything is connected correctly and safely. This conversion is a substantial upgrade that will make a noticeable difference in how your Silverado stops.
