Wilwood D8-6 Front Caliper Kit – Black – Corvette C2 & C3 (1965–1982)
Forged Aluminum, High-Performance Calipers Built for OEM Fit & Modern Muscle
Give your classic Corvette the stopping power it deserves with the Wilwood D8-6 Front Caliper Kit in black finish. Designed as a direct bolt-on replacement for the OE calipers on all 1965–1982 C2 and C3 Corvette models, these six-piston calipers bring modern performance and reliability to your vintage muscle.
The forged billet aluminum caliper bodies eliminate the rust and bore pitting that plague stock cast iron calipers. Combined with stainless steel pistons and high-temp seals, the D8-6 calipers offer low-maintenance performance, heat resistance, and a massive weight savings — all without sacrificing bolt-on simplicity.
