Wilwood Corvette 65-82 D8-4 Front Replacement Caliper Kit

Upgrade the front braking system of your 1965-1982 Chevrolet Corvette with the Wilwood D8-4 Front Replacement Caliper Kit. Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the original Corvette front calipers, the D8-4 system provides a lightweight, durable alternative to the factory cast-iron caliper design while retaining the factory-style brake configuration.

Wilwood D8-4 calipers feature forged billet aluminum bodies, stainless steel pistons, and high-temperature seals to help eliminate the rust, bore pitting, and seal problems commonly associated with original Corvette calipers. The four-piston design provides reliable clamping performance for street or track applications.

These calipers mount in the factory caliper location over the stock front rotors and use original-style D8 brake pads, making them an excellent upgrade for owners who want improved caliper construction without converting to a completely different rotor and hub system.

The complete front kit includes Wilwood D8-4 calipers, brake pads, and DOT-compliant stainless steel braided brake lines. Three caliper finishes are available to match the appearance and intended use of your Corvette.
