Product details
This Wilwood Corvette front conversion uses black six-piston Superlite calipers and 13.06-inch GT slotted rotors. Separate hats mount the 1.25-inch-wide Spec-37 friction rings on the existing hub arrangement. The selected GT package specifies BP-20 pads, making pad selection a real distinction from the drilled/slotted version. Wilwood Engineering was founded by Bill Wood in 1977 and is based in Camarillo, California. The company designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components, including calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings, and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance, and specialized applications.

Verify the original 1965–1982 C2/C3 spindle and hub condition before installing the brackets. Follow DS626 for rotor alignment and any original rotor-to-hub separation required on the car. Replacement hubs and hydraulic lines are not included. Check the wheel drawing for the six-piston caliper's full shape, then assess the existing hydraulic system for pedal travel and front/rear balance.
