Product Description

The Wilwood 140-10790-BK is a rear bolt-on replacement caliper kit designed to upgrade the original brakes on 1965-1982 Chevrolet Corvettes. It features compact but high-strength forged 4-piston calipers with a durable black finish, significantly reducing maintenance compared to stock units while offering enhanced braking stability.

Built with stainless-steel pistons and high-performance pad material, this kit ensures consistent performance even under demanding conditions. The included braided stainless steel brake lines improve pedal feel and response, while the entire setup bolts directly into place - no rotor or hub modifications needed if you're keeping the OE rear setup.

Ideal for classic car restorers, performance builders, or anyone looking to improve rear braking reliability, this kit offers a clean, powerful upgrade for vintage Corvettes. Be sure to bleed the system properly after installation and bed in the pads for optimal performance and longevity.
