Wilwood D8-4 Rear Replacement Caliper Kit - 65-82 Corvette
D8-4 calipers are a direct bolt-on replacement for the OE calipers on all 1965-82 Corvettes. Forged billet aluminum bodies, stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals put an end to the rust, bore pitting and seal failures that plague the OE caliper design. D8-4 calipers provide low-maintenance performance, a huge weight savings, and high temperature reliability for street or track. D8-4 calipers mount in the stock location over stock rotors, use the original style D8 brake pads, and fit snugly inside most '67 or newer production wheels. Some wheels, including the 1965-66 OE "JK" code steel wheels and a few aftermarket replica alloy wheels, will require a 3/16" or wider wheel spacer for clearance. Kits contain DOT compliant stainless braided brake lines and BP-10 compound "Smart Pads"
