Wilwood Rear DPC56 Brake Caliper Conversion, Red with Flexlines, Chevrolet Corvette C5 and Z06 (1997–2004)

Red DPC56 four-piston rear calipers suit the Corvette C5 and Z06 brake layout. Rotors stay separate; verify their size and spoke clearance. This package replaces the calipers and pads while retaining the specified original-size rotor arrangement. Camarillo, California, is home to Wilwood Engineering, the disc-brake manufacturer Bill Wood founded in 1977. Wilwood designs and manufactures systems and components including master cylinders, calipers, rotors, valves, fittings and brake lines. Those parts serve motorsport, street-performance and specialized uses and must be selected as part of the complete brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility

This rear conversion is for 1997–2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5, including the listed Z06 applications. Retain serviceable rotors of the specified factory diameter and thickness; this caliper kit does not supply replacement rotors. Wilwood has checked these calipers with Z06 wheels; that wheel-clearance statement does not make a C6 Z06 brake package compatible. Other factory and aftermarket wheels require the drawing check, and some applications may need spacers. Route the supplied flexlines clear of steering, suspension and rotating parts. Use the fitment table below to confirm the individual model, year, submodel and brake-option restrictions.
