Product details

Red Superlite calipers and 12.88-inch GT-slotted rotors identify this six-lug GM front kit. A conflict between the current GT rotor listing and DS1671 prevents treating either published thickness as settled; confirm the actual rotor pair with Wilwood before purchase. Founded in 1977 by Bill Wood and based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Its range includes calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines, selected to work together within a properly matched brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility

Select this 12.88-inch Superlite conversion by the installed six-lug front hub and the exact GM 4x4 listing. The supported group spans specific 1971–1991 K-series pickups/Suburbans, Blazer/K5 Blazer and Jimmy versions, with no blanket coverage across the entire date range. Verify rotor and caliper clearance using the installation drawing.

DS1671 requires hub stud-hole preparation. Hydraulic planning is also essential: Wilwood specifies a recommended 15/16-inch master cylinder when retaining the factory pedal and vacuum booster, rather than the 1.12-inch OE bore that produces very high pedal effort. Where rear drums remain, follow the recommendation for a 10-pound residual valve plus a proportioning valve in their circuit. Hoses are not supplied.

The table below provides the full application breakdown; match its year, model and brake-configuration details.
