Product details

Red AERO6 calipers and 15-inch SRP rotors identify this front brake conversion for compatible GM K-series, Blazer and Jimmy applications. Confirm sufficient wheel space before undertaking the required hub stud-hole modification. 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

Allow for the 15-inch rotor and AERO6 caliper when assessing a listed GM six-lug 4x4 front application. Nominal 19-inch wheels still need a template check. The application table covers selected K-series pickups/Suburbans, Blazer/K5 Blazer and Jimmy vehicles across 1971–1991, with model-specific start and end years.

Follow DS1672 for the hub wheel-stud-hole modification and check the complete hydraulic arrangement. Wilwood recommends a 15/16-inch master cylinder with the factory vacuum booster and pedal; the 1.12-inch original bore causes very high pedal effort and is not recommended. If the rear axle still has drum brakes, include the recommended 10-pound residual valve and a proportioning valve in that circuit. Hydraulic hoses must be purchased separately.

Confirm the applicable vehicle entry and all numbered notes in the fitment table below.
