Product details
Black Superlite four-piston calipers and 12.88-inch GT-slotted Spec-37 rotors form this GM six-lug rear brake kit. Drum parking shoes within the hats are included, while their cables and clevis connections are selected to suit the vehicle. 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.

Mechanical parking-brake cables must be matched to the supplied internal shoe assemblies.
