Wilwood 88-98 Chevy Silverado Superlite 4R 14.00x1.10in GT Slotted Rear Drum to Disc Conv. - Black

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 serious consideration. This kit replaces your factory rear drum brakes with a robust disc brake system, offering improved stopping power and better heat management, which is crucial for trucks that haul or are driven hard. It's a comprehensive package designed to bring your truck's braking up to modern standards.

At the heart of this conversion are the Superlite 4R calipers, known for their solid construction and reliable performance. They clamp down on large 14.00-inch diameter, 1.10-inch thick GT slotted rotors. The GT slots help to vent gases and debris away from the pad surface, which means more consistent braking, especially during repeated stops or under heavy load. The black finish on the calipers and rotors gives a clean, performance-oriented look behind your wheels. This kit includes everything needed to swap your rear drums for discs, including the calipers, rotors, brackets, and necessary hardware, making it a complete solution for your braking upgrade.

Upgrading to disc brakes on the rear of your truck not only enhances your ability to stop quickly but also improves brake pedal feel and modulation. This can be particularly beneficial if you've already upgraded the front brakes or if you frequently tow or carry heavy loads. While this is a significant upgrade, it's a well-regarded path to better braking for these classic Silverado trucks.
