Wilwood Caliper-D8-6 R/H Front Clear 1.88/1.38/1.25in Pistons 1.25in Disc

If you're looking to upgrade the braking performance on your 1965-82 Corvette, replacing the original cast iron calipers is a smart move. These Wilwood D8-6 front calipers are designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the factory four-piston units, making the swap straightforward. They feature a forged billet aluminum body, which is much lighter and more resistant to corrosion than the original cast iron design. Inside, you'll find stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals, addressing common issues like rust, bore pitting, and seal failures found in older calipers.

This caliper setup uses a combination of 1.88-inch, 1.38-inch, and 1.25-inch pistons, carefully balanced to provide improved stopping power and feel compared to the stock setup. The forged aluminum construction not only helps with heat dissipation but also contributes to a well-built caliper that can handle the demands of spirited driving. By upgrading to these Wilwood calipers, you're addressing the weak points of the original design and setting yourself up for a more reliable and responsive braking system.
