Wilwood D8-6 Front Caliper Kit for Chevrolet Corvette C2/C3 1965-1982 - Black

D8-6 Front calipers are a direct bolt-on replacement for the OE calipers on all 1965-82 Corvettes. Type III hard anodized 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. D8-6 calipers provide low-maintenance performance, a huge weight savings, high temperature reliability, and the added benefit of six piston pad clamping power. D8-6 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 high friction Promatrix brake pads.

Upgrade your classic Corvette with the Wilwood D8-6 Front Caliper Kit designed specifically for models from 1965 to 1982. These calipers feature Type III hard anodized forged billet aluminum bodies that resist corrosion and wear, ensuring long-lasting performance. Stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals eliminate common issues such as rust, bore pitting, and seal failures associated with original equipment calipers. The D8-6 calipers deliver low-maintenance operation, significant weight savings, and high-temperature reliability, making them an ideal choice for both street and performance driving.
Mount them in the stock location over your existing rotors using the original style D8 brake pads. They are engineered to fit snugly within most ’67 or newer production wheels, although some wheels like the 1965-66 OE “JK” steel wheels and certain aftermarket alloy wheels may require a 3/16” or wider wheel spacer for proper clearance. Each kit includes DOT-compliant stainless braided brake lines and high-friction Promatrix brake pads for improved stopping power and reliability.
These calipers are a perfect upgrade for classic Corvette enthusiasts seeking enhanced braking performance without extensive modifications. Their robust construction and precision engineering ensure consistent, fade-resistant braking, even under demanding conditions. Designed to preserve the authentic look of your Corvette, the black finish adds a sleek, modern touch while maintaining the vehicle’s vintage appeal.
