C5/C6 Base Front Wilwood Kit - Fits stock wheels and OEM Rotors Edit Post
I am updating this thread based on the caliper and bracket availability.
This front brake kit upgrade is based on the following parts.
**New Design** Wilwood Forged SL6 6 piston front SuperLite brake calipers. Stainless Steel Pistons/20mm thick pads available in many compounds
OEM Sized rotors from a C5 or C6 base model - 325 mm x 32 mm. We suggest our KNS/DBA 2 piece rotors to be the most durable rotor on the market.
Kits are offered with or without KNS/DBA 2 Piece Brake Rotors.
*****
Update - The initial run of brackets sold out - thanks to all.
To accommodate the new forged calipers we have to redesign our bracket and that will take at least several weeks to get through the prototype and machining phases.
The kit is priced very well and it looks like we can hold the line on pricing but that is TBD.
*****
6 piston Forged SuperLite Caliper
---Uses the 20mm Thick 7420 Pad Shape----- (shop here)
Works with any OEM sized C5/C6 Base front brake rotor. (shop here)
17" C5Z Front wheels clear.
18" C5Z Rear wheels (square setup) clear but are close. Confirmed to work if KNS 4K rotors are used as the 2 piece have a slightly thicker hat section. They fit with stock rotors but are pretty close and we have not confirmed that hub flexing may cause some rub.
We will sell the kit without pads and with or without KNS 4K 2 piece rotors
This is a proven economical and effective front brake upgrade. We just ran the new VIR w/ TrackDaze and our brakes were great all weekend.
Thanks for looking and stay tuned for updates.
