Product details
The red GT-slotted version supplies 12.19-inch rotors and Superlite six-piston calipers for compatible GM 4x4 front hubs. Wilwood’s master-cylinder and rear-drum recommendations are essential to selecting the rest of the brake system. From its base in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures disc brake systems for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Founded by Bill Wood in 1977, the company also produces the individual calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines used in these installations. Selection should account for how each component works within the complete brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility
The 12.19-inch Superlite front package applies to the listed GM six-lug 4x4 models within 1971–1991. Match the individual Chevrolet K10, Blazer/K5 Blazer or GMC K15/K1500/Jimmy application, including the relevant Suburban entries; the table contains the actual model-year splits. A nominal 15-inch wheel is only a starting point for the clearance check.
Prepare the front hub’s wheel-stud holes as shown in DS1670. With the factory pedal and vacuum booster, Wilwood recommends a 15/16-inch master-cylinder bore; the OE 1.12-inch bore is not recommended because of very high pedal effort. A retained rear-drum circuit should use the recommended 10-pound residual valve and proportioning valve. Select hydraulic hoses separately.
The table below provides the full application breakdown; match its year, model and brake-configuration details.
