Product details
Black AERO6 calipers and GT-slotted 14-inch Spec-37 rotors form this six-lug GM 4x4 front package. The six-piston calipers use BP-10 pads, and the 1.25-inch rotor thickness must be included in wheel and component-clearance planning. Based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering has designed and manufactured disc brake systems and components since Bill Wood founded the company in 1977. Its work spans motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications, with a product range covering master cylinders, calipers, brake rotors, valves, fittings and brake lines. These parts must be chosen for the requirements of the entire brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility
This 14-inch AERO6 front installation requires the specified GM six-lug 4x4 hub arrangement. Check the individual 1971–1991 Chevrolet/GMC K-series, Blazer/K5 Blazer, Jimmy and related Suburban rows; only the years shown for the particular model apply. Verify the full brake envelope within the wheel, even when its nominal diameter is 18 inches.
The manual calls for modification of the hub’s wheel-stud holes before brake assembly. A 15/16-inch master-cylinder bore is recommended with the original pedal and vacuum booster; avoid the OE 1.12-inch bore because Wilwood warns of very high effort. Retaining rear drums also calls for the recommended rear-circuit 10-pound residual and proportioning valves. Choose the required hydraulic hose set for the vehicle.
