Product details
The red SRP package equips a matching GM 2.46-inch-offset rear axle with Superlite brakes and EPB hardware. Its 12.88-inch Spec-37 rotors use the six-lug pattern, with BP-10 pads supplied for the radial-mount calipers. The manufacturer is Wilwood Engineering, founded by Bill Wood in 1977 and based in Camarillo, California. It designs and manufactures disc brake components and complete systems, from calipers and brake rotors to valves, master cylinders, fittings and brake lines. Motorsport, street-performance and specialized installations each require those components to be matched to the complete brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility
The Superlite/EPB installation is for a measured 2.46-inch-offset GM six-lug rear axle using the documented flange. Read the individual 1971–1991 application entries for K-series pickups/Suburbans, Blazer/K5 Blazer and Jimmy. Check clearance for both the four-piston service caliper and the electric parking caliper around the 12.88-inch rotor.
DS1676 specifies a 3.55-inch axle center register, a 6 x 5.5-inch lug pattern and a flange no larger than 7.05 inches with a 0.050-inch x 45-degree chamfer. Plan the separate hydraulic line purchase and the routing of the included EPB harness before removing the original brakes.
Confirm the applicable vehicle entry and all numbered notes in the fitment table below.
The electric parking brake is for stationary parking, not an emergency-stop brake. Applying it while the vehicle is moving can lock the rear wheels and cause a skid. Follow the wiring and holding-test procedures in the manufacturer’s instructions.
