Wilwood 88-98 Chevy Silverado Superlite 4R 12.88x1.10in Drill/Slot Rear Drum to Disc Conv. - Black

If you're looking to significantly upgrade the braking performance of your 1988-1998 Chevy Silverado, this rear drum-to-disc conversion kit from Wilwood is a solid choice. This kit transforms your truck's rear braking system from outdated drums to a modern, high-performance disc setup, which is crucial for improved stopping power, especially if you've modified your truck or plan on towing heavy loads. Wilwood is well-known for making serious braking components, and this kit brings that expertise to your Silverado's rear axle.

At the heart of this conversion are the Superlite 4R calipers, which are a popular choice for their robust construction and reliable performance. These calipers grip a substantial 12.88-inch diameter, 1.10-inch thick rotor that's drilled and slotted. The drilling helps reduce weight and dissipate heat, while the slots help clear out dust and gas that can build up between the pad and rotor surface during hard braking. This combination means more consistent stopping power, even under demanding conditions. The kit includes everything you need to make the swap, including the calipers, rotors, brackets, and necessary hardware, all designed to work together as a complete system. The black caliper finish also adds a clean, aggressive look behind your wheels.

Swapping from drum brakes to disc brakes on the rear axle is a significant upgrade that can make a noticeable difference in your truck's overall braking capability. While this is a more involved installation than simply changing brake pads, the performance gains are substantial. Make sure to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and any additional components you might need to complete the conversion properly.
