Description
Performance Brake Upgrade. The Wilwood Forged Narrow Superlite 4R Rear Brake Caliper and Bracket Upgrade Kit in Black is engineered to enhance the rear braking system with improved stopping power and style. It replaces the stock caliper setup on compatible Corvettes equipped with 13-inch rotors, delivering enhanced pedal feel and consistent braking performance in various driving conditions. This kit is ideal for those seeking higher performance while maintaining compatibility with ABS systems.
Construction and Appearance. The kit features a forged aluminum caliper design with a narrow profile and four stainless steel pistons, resulting in a lightweight yet durable assembly. The calipers are finished with a black powder coat for corrosion resistance and a sleek, performance-oriented look. The caliper body includes a center bridge reinforcement providing strength suitable for high-stress environments.
Installation. Installation is straightforward, mounting directly in the stock location with no drilling required. The kit uses an OEM rear axle flange with zero offset, ensuring precise fitment and simplifying the upgrade process. Proper flexline kits specified for C5 and C6 rear brake lines are recommended to complete the installation.
Application. Designed specifically to fit 1997 through 2013 Corvette C5 and C6 models, this kit requires vehicles to be equipped with 13.00-inch rear rotors from the 2005-09 Z51 package.
