Wilwood 140-10789 Details

D8-4 calipers are a direct bolt-on replacement for the OE calipers on all 1965-82 Corvettes. Forged billet aluminum bodies, stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals put an end to the rust, bore pitting and seal failures that plague the OE caliper design. D8-4 calipers provide low-maintenance performance, a huge weight savings, and high temperature reliability for street or track. D8-4 calipers mount in the stock location over stock rotors, use the original style D8 brake pads, and fit snugly inside most '67 or newer production wheels. Some wheels, including the 1965-66 OE "JK" code steel wheels and a few aftermarket replica alloy wheels, will require a 3/16" or wider wheel spacer for clearance. Kits contain DOT compliant stainless braided brake lines and BP-10 compound Smart Pads

Purchased Wilwood calipers to replace leaky reman units on my 82 Corvette. The kit comes with the fittings necessary for the new lines, and the calipers bolt on to the factory brackets and with factory rotors.

I replaced the front disc calipers on my Corvette 6 times in several months. Each time the calipers leaked, or the bleeders leaked( I even tried new speed bleeders). Rebuilt calipers came from different local part stores, two of the stores used the same vendor for rebuilds, the third store a different rebuild vendor. The price difference between new stock calipers and this Wilwood kit with all parts included was minimal, the higher quality product made it an easy decision to go with Wilwood. The results were well worth the costs, the product was easier to install, and much lighter weight then original.
