Fitment & Compatibility

Use the fixed four-piston DPC56 rear calipers with the specified 12-inch rotor arrangement on all listed C5 and base C6 Corvette models. The installation removes the parking brake, and DS-1454 calls for Z06 wheel clearance or a verified equivalent wheel profile. The calipers have a Type III anodized finish. BP-40 pads require racing temperatures; prolonged cold operation increases wear. The calipers accept the OE banjo-style hose with new crush washers. Check the complete brake system and listed year/trim coverage.

Use the fitment table below to check each listed year, model and brake configuration alongside these installation requirements.
