Product details
A fixed-bearing Special housing end separates this kit from an ordinary C-clip Chevrolet rear axle. This Forged Dynalite rear disc brake kit combines black powder-coated 4-piston calipers and 12.19-inch plain-face rotors. Founded in 1977 by Bill Wood and based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures disc brake systems for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Its range includes calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines, selected to work together as a complete brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility
Use this package only with the Chevrolet 12-bolt Special housing-end arrangement and its 3.15-inch fixed axle bearing. The listed modified GM applications still require that rear axle hardware; a vehicle name or front spindle conversion does not establish rear-kit fit. Wilwood currently lists a 2.91-inch axle offset, while the DS293 instruction cover specifies 2.81 inches. Measure your axle and have Wilwood confirm the correct kit before ordering.
Use the wheel-clearance drawing in the installation instructions before purchase. The catalog minimum diameter is a guide; barrel shape, spoke clearance and wheel offset still determine fit.
The application table below identifies the model-year and factory-equipment combinations. Match the entire row, including its numbered notes.
Package and installation requirements
- No parking-brake mechanism is supplied. Confirm that this arrangement meets the requirements of the vehicle and its intended use.
- Axle offset requires confirmation: current product page 2.91 inches; DS293 instruction cover 2.81 inches.
