Product details
Drilled/slotted 12.88-inch rings and black Superlite 6R calipers define this Wilwood front hub conversion. The SRP configuration supplies BP-10 pads, while separate hats and replacement hubs mount the 48-curved-vane rotors on the specified Chevrolet spindle. Model-year and original spindle details remain necessary, including the particular early Corvette applications in the table. 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
Use DS903 to confirm bracket location, bearing seating and wheel clearance. The replacement hub adds 0.21 inches to wheel position per side and offers the stated alternative five-lug patterns. Check tire/fender room separately from the spoke and barrel clearance around the caliper. Hydraulic hoses are separate; verify steering-lock and suspension-travel routing, then assess the master cylinder with the rear brake configuration.
