Product details
Red Superlite 4R calipers and drilled/slotted rotors make up the service-brake portion of this 12-bolt conversion. The 2.81-inch axle offset and factory C-clip housing pattern must match before the included parking-brake backing plates can be installed. Bill Wood founded Wilwood Engineering in 1977; the company is based in Camarillo, California. Wilwood designs and manufactures calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines as part of its disc brake systems and component range for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Each component must suit the requirements of the complete brake installation.

Fitment & Compatibility
Select this kit by the Chevrolet 12-bolt factory C-clip axle arrangement and 2.81-inch measured offset. It is not the special 3.15-inch-bearing or C-clip-eliminator package. The GM vehicle entries below are conditional on the installed rear housing; a front-spindle description does not establish rear-axle compatibility.
Measure the flange pattern, register and axle offset using DS523 and the worksheet. The maximum axle-flange diameter is 6.61 inches with the specified chamfer. Hydraulic lines and parking-cable/clevis hardware are separate; universal cable kit 330-9371 is an option requiring installation-specific routing.
The table below gives the detailed vehicle coverage; match the individual entry and each referenced note.
Adjust and test the mechanical parking brake as directed. Cable routing, tension and shoe adjustment affect its holding ability; do not rely on an untested parking brake alone to secure the vehicle on a slope.
