Wilwood 88-98 GM C1500 Superlite Rear Electronic Parking Brake Kit 12.88in Rotor 3.25in Offset - Blk

This is the Wilwood Superlite rear electronic parking brake kit specifically for 1988-1998 GM C1500 trucks. It's designed to give your truck a significant upgrade in both braking performance and parking brake functionality. The kit features a robust Superlite caliper and a substantial 12.88-inch rotor, providing increased stopping power and better heat management compared to the stock setup. The electronic parking brake (EPB) mechanism offers a modern, reliable way to secure your vehicle, replacing the traditional cable-actuated system.

Wilwood is well-known for its high-performance brake components, and this kit is no exception. The Superlite calipers are forged from aluminum for a strong yet lightweight housing, and they utilize a four-piston design to ensure even pressure distribution across the pad surface for improved stopping. The rotors are vented and cross-drilled, which helps dissipate heat effectively and clear out brake dust and gases, leading to more consistent performance, especially during repeated braking events. The 3.25-inch offset is engineered to work with the specific axle configurations of these GM trucks, ensuring a proper fit. This kit is a comprehensive solution for enthusiasts looking to enhance their truck's braking system with advanced technology and proven performance.

When installing this kit, you'll be replacing your rear rotors, calipers, and parking brake mechanism. The electronic parking brake requires a control module and switch, which are typically sold separately, so be sure to factor those into your project. This upgrade is ideal for trucks that see heavy use, are frequently towed with, or have had their overall performance increased through engine or suspension modifications. It’s a substantial upgrade that transforms the rear braking and parking system of your C1500.
