Product Details

If you're looking to significantly upgrade the braking performance on your 1970-1982 Chevrolet Corvette, this Wilwood D8-6 front caliper kit is a solid choice. These calipers are designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for your original equipment, meaning they mount right up in the stock location. They address common issues found in the factory calipers, like rust and pitting, thanks to their forged billet aluminum bodies and stainless steel pistons.

Wilwood's D8-6 calipers offer a substantial improvement over stock. The six-piston design provides more clamping force for better stopping power, while the aluminum construction results in a significant weight saving. They use the original style D8 brake pads and can mount over stock rotors, making the upgrade straightforward. This kit also includes DOT-compliant stainless braided brake lines and high-friction Promatrix brake pads, so you're getting a complete package for improved stopping performance and reliability, especially under higher temperatures.

It's worth noting that while these calipers fit most 1967 and newer production wheels, some factory steel wheels from 1965-66 and certain aftermarket alloy wheels might require a 3/16” or wider wheel spacer for proper clearance. This kit comes in a striking red finish to complement your Corvette's appearance.
