Product details
Drilled/slotted Spec-37 rotors and black six-piston calipers distinguish this Wilwood front hub conversion for the specified Chevrolet drop spindles. The 12.88-inch rings use 48 curved vanes and separate hats, while the supplied hubs provide the wheel mounting. Verify the spindle choice before ordering; the application depends on installed suspension hardware rather than model year alone. 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.

Fitment & Compatibility
DS876 details the Heidts Tri-5 arrangement, with application rows identifying additional listed spindle options. The kit does not fit original 1955–1957 Chevrolet spindles. Check the hub pattern and the actual 17-inch-or-larger wheel profile, including spoke offset around the radial caliper. Hydraulic lines are selected separately, and bearing condition, stud engagement and master-cylinder suitability must be assessed as part of the complete installation.
Match the individual model, year, submodel and brake configuration in the fitment table below.
