Wilwood 88-98 GM C1500 Superlite Rear Electronic Parking Brake Kit 14in Rotor 3.25in Offset - Blk

This is the Wilwood Superlite rear big brake kit for 1988-1998 GM C1500 trucks, featuring a 14-inch rotor and an integrated electronic parking brake system. If you're looking to significantly upgrade your truck's braking performance and add a modern electronic parking brake, this kit is a solid choice. It replaces your factory rear drum brakes with a high-performance disc brake setup designed for improved stopping power and heat dissipation.

Wilwood is known for its well-built brake components, and this kit is no exception. It includes their Superlite calipers, which are forged from aluminum for a strong yet lightweight construction, and feature a two-piece design for easy maintenance. The 14-inch rotors are vented and slotted, helping to manage heat and clear out dust and gas for more consistent braking, especially under heavy use. The electronic parking brake mechanism is built directly into the caliper assembly, offering a clean look and reliable holding power without the need for separate drum-in-hat parking brake systems. The kit is designed with a 3.25-inch offset to properly align with the axle flange on these specific GM trucks.

When installing this kit, you'll be converting your rear axle from drum brakes to disc brakes. This typically involves removing the old drum brake components and mounting the new caliper bracket and caliper. The electronic parking brake will require wiring to a switch inside the cabin, which is usually sold separately. This kit is a substantial upgrade for trucks that see regular use, towing, or are being modified for higher performance. It's important to ensure you have adequate clearance for the 14-inch rotors within your wheels; check Wilwood's specifications for wheel fitment details.
