Wilwood D8-4 Rear Caliper Kit Red Corvette C2 / C3 65-82

Forged billet aluminum bodies with a Type III hard anodizing are a key feature of these Wilwood D8-4 rear calipers, offering a significant upgrade over the stock components on your 1970-1982 Chevrolet Corvette. This hard anodizing process not only gives the calipers a tough, durable finish but also helps protect against corrosion and bore pitting, common issues with original equipment calipers. By replacing your aging OE calipers with these, you're addressing potential seal failures and rust that can compromise braking performance over time.

These D8-4 calipers are designed as a direct bolt-on replacement, meaning they mount in the factory location and work with your Corvette's original style D8 brake pads and rotors. This makes for a straightforward installation process without requiring extensive modifications. You'll also notice a substantial weight savings compared to the stock cast iron calipers, which can contribute to improved overall vehicle dynamics. The kit includes DOT-compliant stainless braided brake lines for reliable fluid transfer and high-friction Promatrix brake pads, ready to provide improved stopping power.

It's worth noting that while these calipers fit snugly inside most 1967 and newer production wheels, some specific wheels, like the 1965-66 OE “JK” code steel wheels and certain aftermarket replicas, might need a 3/16” or wider wheel spacer for adequate clearance. This kit is a comprehensive solution for enhancing the rear braking system of your C2 or C3 Corvette, offering a blend of durability, weight reduction, and reliable performance.
