Wilwood C5/C6/Z06 Corvette 97-13 Front Kit AERO6

If you're looking to significantly improve the stopping power and heat management on your C5, C6, or Z06 Corvette from 1997 to 2013, this Wilwood AERO6 front big brake kit is a solid choice. This kit is designed to handle the demands of spirited driving and track use, offering a substantial upgrade over the factory braking system. It's a comprehensive package that addresses both performance and durability for your Corvette's front end.

At the heart of this kit are the AERO6 calipers, which feature a forged billet aluminum body for strength and light weight. These calipers house six stainless steel pistons, providing even pressure distribution across the brake pads for consistent and powerful braking. The calipers are paired with large, two-piece rotors. The rotors are typically constructed from a high-carbon iron alloy, known for its thermal stability and wear resistance, and feature internal vane structures designed to dissipate heat effectively. The two-piece design allows the rotor friction surface to expand and contract independently of the hat, reducing the risk of rotor distortion and cracking under extreme temperatures. This setup is crucial for maintaining braking performance during prolonged or aggressive use, preventing fade and ensuring reliable stopping power when you need it most.

This kit includes everything needed to upgrade your Corvette's front brakes, such as the calipers, rotors, adapter brackets, and high-performance brake pads. The included pads are typically a performance-oriented compound designed to work well with the caliper and rotor combination. While this is a complete kit, it's always a good idea to inspect your existing brake lines and consider upgrading to braided stainless steel lines for optimal pedal feel and durability, especially when installing a high-performance braking system like this. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for detailed guidance.
