Product details
Equip Corvette C6 Base rear brakes with red DPC56 calipers, BP-10 pads and braided hoses. Confirm the 12-inch rotor package before installation. This package replaces the calipers and pads while retaining the specified original-size rotor arrangement. The manufacturer is Wilwood Engineering, founded by Bill Wood in 1977 and based in Camarillo, California. Wilwood designs and manufactures disc brake systems along with calipers, rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. Motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications each call for components matched to the overall braking arrangement.

Fitment & Compatibility
This rear replacement package belongs to the 2005–2013 Corvette C6 Base brake layout with nominal 12-inch rear rotors. Check the retained rotor thickness and condition along with the parking assembly before fitting the red DPC56 calipers. The pads and braided flexlines are provided, while replacement rotors are separate. Use DS-1575 to inspect wheel-barrel and spoke clearance. A caliper clearance check with Z06 wheels does not establish compatibility with C6 Z06 brakes; other wheels may require spacers. The table below preserves the individual Base-model year rows.
