Product details

Black Forged Dynalite Internal calipers and plain-face 11-inch rotors form this Tri-Five Chevrolet front hub kit. The supplied aluminum hubs use 1/2-20 studs, and the package is intended for the listed aftermarket drop spindles rather than original Chevrolet spindles. Bill Wood established Wilwood Engineering in 1977. From Camarillo, California, the company designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components, including calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines, for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications.
