Wilwood 97-13 Corvette C5-C6 AERO6 Big Brake Lug Drive Front Brake Kit (Race)
Wilwood 97-13 Corvette C5-C6 AERO6 Big Brake Lug Drive Front Brake Kit (Race)
The Wilwood AERO6 Big Brake Lug Drive Front Brake Kit is designed for 1997-2013 C5 and C6 Corvette road race applications. This front brake package combines AERO6R/ST six-piston radial-mount race calipers with 14.00-inch dynamically mounted Spec-37 GT directional vane rotors and Wilwood's Dynamic Lug Drive mounting system.
The AERO6R/ST calipers feature forged aluminum bodies with a Type III Mil-Spec hard anodized finish and a wider body designed to accept 20mm thick brake pads. Thermlock pistons help reduce heat transfer from the pads, while internal damper springs, controlled retraction, and high-temperature piston seals are designed to maintain consistent pedal height during demanding race use. Caliper piston volumes are matched for compatibility with the OE master cylinder output and ABS controls.
