Product details
Corvette C6 Base rear calipers and rotors are replaced with red DPC56 and dimpled SRP components. Check wheel and parking-brake clearances. The conversion combines the caliper, pad and rotor configuration specified for this axle and mounting arrangement. Founded by Bill Wood in 1977, Wilwood Engineering 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. Its motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications require individual components matched to the complete brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility
For the 2005–2013 Corvette C6 Base rear axle, red DPC56 calipers are paired with the supplied 12.01 × 1.03-inch SRP rotor/hat assemblies. Match the original-size rear brake package and parking arrangement before ordering. The rotor faces are dimpled and slotted as specified by Wilwood, and BP-10 pads and braided hoses are included. Use DS-1575 to compare spoke and barrel clearance; a checked Z06 wheel does not make C6 Z06 brakes interchangeable. Other wheels can require spacers. Confirm the exact Base-model years in the table below and keep the hoses clear through suspension travel.
