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

Wilwood is well-known for making high-performance braking systems that offer a significant step up from stock. This rear drum-to-disc conversion kit is a prime example, designed specifically for 1988-1998 Chevy Silverado trucks. If you're looking to upgrade your truck's braking capability, especially if you've already addressed the front brakes or are planning a full system overhaul, this kit is a serious consideration. It replaces your factory rear drum brakes with a robust disc setup, offering improved stopping power and better heat management.

This kit features Wilwood's Superlite 4R calipers, which are a popular choice for their compact size and strong performance. They clamp down on massive 14.00-inch diameter by 1.10-inch thick GT slotted rotors. The GT rotors have a unique slotting pattern that helps to sweep away dust and gas, keeping the pad surface clean and ensuring consistent braking performance, especially under heavy use. The red caliper finish adds a touch of visual appeal to your wheels. This conversion is designed to work with your existing rear axle, but it's a comprehensive package that includes everything needed to make the switch from drums to discs.

When undertaking a drum-to-disc conversion, especially on a truck that might see heavier use or towing, the benefits of a disc brake system are substantial. They offer more consistent pedal feel, better fade resistance, and are generally easier to maintain than drum brakes. This Wilwood kit is a well-built solution for those who demand more from their truck's braking system. Ensure you consult the manufacturer's installation guide for specific details regarding your axle and any potential modifications required for a smooth installation.
