Wilwood D8-6 Front Caliper Kit Black Corvette C2 / C3 65-82

The Wilwood D8-6 Front Caliper Kit is a high-performance brake component designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the original equipment calipers on all 1965-82 Corvettes. Constructed with Type III hard anodized forged billet aluminum bodies, stainless steel pistons, and high-temperature seals, these calipers eliminate common issues such as rust, bore pitting, and seal failures associated with OE designs. They offer low-maintenance performance, significant weight savings, and high-temperature reliability, along with six-piston pad clamping power for improved braking force. The calipers mount in the stock location over stock rotors, use the original style D8 brake pads, and fit inside most ’67 or newer production wheels, with some wheels requiring a 3/16” or wider spacer for clearance. The kit includes DOT-compliant stainless braided brake lines and high-friction Promatrix brake pads, ensuring enhanced durability and stopping power.

Designed for 1965-82 Corvettes, this caliper kit is suitable for street and performance applications where reliable, low-maintenance braking is essential. It provides a straightforward bolt-on upgrade that maintains original mounting points and compatibility with stock rotors and pads. The included components, such as stainless braided lines and high-friction pads, enhance overall braking performance and longevity. Some wheel and spacer considerations may be necessary depending on wheel type, but overall, this kit offers a robust solution for improving brake performance on classic Corvette models.
