The Wilwood D52 Front Caliper Kit is a high-performance brake upgrade designed to replace factory single calipers on a wide range of 1968-1996 GM passenger vehicles and trucks. Constructed with forged billet aluminum bodies, these calipers offer exceptional durability and corrosion resistance, while stainless steel pistons and competition-style high-temperature seals ensure reliable operation under demanding conditions. The D52 calipers significantly reduce weight compared to OEM components, enhancing vehicle handling and braking response. Engineered for both street and track use, they deliver consistent high-temperature performance, low maintenance, and improved stopping power, making them an ideal upgrade for enthusiasts seeking enhanced braking performance.

This caliper kit is a direct bolt-on replacement compatible with various GM models from 1968 to 1996, designed to fit factory mounting points without modifications. Suitable for street, track, or performance driving, these calipers provide a substantial upgrade over original equipment, offering increased heat capacity and reduced risk of seal failure. The kit includes the calipers and necessary mounting hardware, ensuring straightforward installation. Compatible with a range of GM passenger vehicles and trucks, the Wilwood D52 calipers are an excellent choice for those looking to improve braking performance and reliability in demanding driving conditions.

Overview

Wilwood's D52 Front Caliper Kit is a direct bolt-on 2 piston replacement for the factory original single calipers on many 1968-96 GM Passenger Vehicles and Trucks. Forged billet aluminum bodies, stainless steel pistons, and competition style high-temperature seals put an end to the rust, bore pitting, and seal failures that plague the OE caliper design. D52 calipers provide low-maintenance performance and a huge weight savings with high temperature reliability for the street and track. D52 calipers mount in the stock location over stock rotors, use the original style OE D52 brake pads and an OE 7/16-20 banjo bolt brake line mounting. Calipers can be used with most wheels that clear the OE calipers. The front calipers with 2.00" piston provide 6.28 square inches of piston area per caliper, in order to maintain the original front to rear brake bias and use of the OE master cylinder. Kits contain Wilwood's hardened slide pins and BP-10 high friction pads. Matching rear calipers are also available for custom installations. Vehicles 1978 & Up (with M10-1.5 banjo bolts) will require new brake lines available below.
