Product Description

The Wilwood 140-10790-R Rear D8-4 Caliper Kit is a performance-oriented upgrade for the rear brakes of 1965-1982 Chevrolet Corvette models (both C2 and C3 generations). Built with forged aluminum bodies and finished in red powder coat, these calipers offer enhanced corrosion resistance and a sporty look compared to original equipment. The four-piston design increases clamping force and provides more consistent braking under hard use, making it ideal for both spirited street driving and occasional track days.

This bolt-on solution retains original mounting locations and stock rotor compatibility for a straightforward installation process. High-friction ProMatrix pads and DOT-compliant stainless braided hoses are included to improve pedal feel and stopping performance over aging OE components. Note: most applications require 15" or larger wheels to ensure proper clearance around the calipers without interference during suspension movement.
