Wilwood 140-11857 is a D8-6 front caliper kit that bolts on in place of the OE calipers on 1965-1982 Chevrolet Corvettes. The six-piston calipers have forged billet aluminum bodies in hard anodize powder coat, stainless steel pistons and high-temperature seals. They mount in the stock location over the stock rotors, use original style D8 brake pads and fit inside most 1967 or newer production wheels. The kit includes stainless braided brake lines and ProMatrix brake pads.
