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

Wilwood is well-known for making high-performance braking components, and this Forged Dynalite rear drum to disc conversion kit is a prime example of their work. If you're looking to upgrade the braking system on your 1988-1998 Chevy Silverado, this kit is designed to replace your factory rear drum brakes with a more capable disc setup. This conversion can significantly improve your truck's stopping power and overall braking performance, especially if you plan on hauling heavy loads or towing.

This kit features Wilwood's Forged Dynalite calipers, which are forged from aluminum for a strong yet lightweight housing. The calipers are paired with 12.19-inch diameter, 0.81-inch thick plain rotors. The plain rotor face helps to keep temperatures down during normal driving, and the overall design is focused on providing consistent stopping power. The red caliper finish adds a touch of style to your rear end. This kit is designed as a direct bolt-on for vehicles originally equipped with drum brakes, simplifying the installation process. It's important to note that this kit is intended for rear axle use and will require a proportioning valve to properly balance brake pressure between the front and rear axles.

When undertaking a drum-to-disc conversion, it's crucial to ensure you have the correct master cylinder and proportioning valve to work with your new rear disc brakes. Wilwood offers a range of compatible master cylinders and valves, and we recommend consulting their technical documentation or speaking with one of our experts to ensure you have all the necessary components for a complete and safe braking system upgrade. This kit is a substantial upgrade for your Silverado's braking system, offering improved performance and reliability.
