Wilwood 97-13 Corvette C5-C6 Forged Narrow Superlite 4R Big Brake Rear Kit (Race)
The Wilwood Forged Narrow Superlite 4R Big Brake Rear Brake Kit is engineered for 1997-2013 C5 and C6 Corvette applications intended for unrestricted road race competition. Designed as the rear match for Wilwood AERO6R/ST front race brake kits, this system emphasizes matched front-to-rear balance, durability, and efficient heat management without adding unnecessary rotating or unsprung weight.
The kit combines Forged Narrow Superlite 4R/ST four-piston radial-mount calipers with 13.00-inch Spec-37 iron GT directional vane rotors and Wilwood's Dynamic Lug Drive mounting system. Type III Mil-Spec hard anodized calipers, Thermlock pistons, high-temperature seals, and BP-35 race compound brake pads provide a competition-focused braking package for sustained high-heat use.
