Wilwood Aero6R/ST Front Big Brake Kit 14in Black Anodize 97-13 Chevrolet Corvette C5/C6

When you open the box for this Wilwood Aero6R/ST front big brake kit, you're getting everything you need to significantly upgrade your 1997-2013 Chevrolet Corvette C5 or C6's stopping power. This kit is built around a pair of robust Aero6R calipers, each featuring six pistons for exceptional clamping force and even pad wear. It also includes a pair of large 14-inch diameter rotors designed to handle serious heat, along with the necessary brake pads and all the hardware to get them mounted up. This is a comprehensive package aimed at drivers who push their Corvettes hard, whether on the street or the track.

The Aero6R calipers are forged from aluminum for a strong yet lightweight housing, and they're finished in a durable black anodize that resists corrosion and looks sharp. Wilwood chose a lug-drive mounting system for the 14-inch rotors, which helps keep them centered and reduces stress on the mounting hardware, especially important under heavy braking loads. The kit comes with .80-inch thick brake pads, a common size that offers a good balance of performance and pad life for a variety of driving conditions. This setup is engineered to provide a noticeable improvement in braking performance, reducing stopping distances and offering more consistent pedal feel, even during repeated hard stops.

Installing a big brake kit like this is a significant upgrade, and it's designed to be a direct fit for the specified Corvette models, meaning no custom fabrication is typically required. However, it's always a good idea to consult the manufacturer's installation instructions for specific details and torque specifications. This kit is a solid choice for any Corvette owner looking to enhance their vehicle's braking capabilities for spirited driving or track use.
