97-13 W6AR/ST WILWOOD ROAD RACE BRAKES Wilwood's new W6AR Extreme Big Brake kit is specifically designed for dedicated road race competition Corvettes. Engineered to provide maximum braking capacity without any modification to your Corvette. Fits 97-13 Corvettes with 18" wheels and factory 06-09 Z06 equipped Corvettes. See install sheet online for wheel fitment dimensions. Brake kit features include:
Calipers - Competition proven, machined forged billet body provides superior strength and resistance to deflection and separation under high load. Six piston design generates big brake clamping force with balanced pad load for even wear patterns in all high heat, high load conditions. Stainless pistons resist corrosion and reduce heat transfer to pads. Exclusive Thermlock Piston technology reduces caliper temperatures as much as 25% providing maximum protection against heat related fade and component wear. Spring loaded SRS bridge plates dampen noise while protecting caliper bridge from wear.
14.25" Staggered Direction Vane Rotors - Staggered directional vanes provide maximum cooling efficiency without unnecessary added weight. GT competition machining prep includes asymmetrical degassing slots and individual dynamic balancing. 14.25" diameter increases leverage for improved stopping power. Forged aluminum rotor hats reduce weight while adding strength to handle serious brake torque delivered by the W6AR calipers, black anodized finish resists corrosion.
PolyMatrix "H" compound race pads provide high friction, long wear, smooth engagement, modulation and maximum fade resistance for sustained high temperature competition braking.
Radial mounting provides secure attachment directly to OE mount with two planes of adjustment for precise alignment over rotor. Brackets, premium grade fasteners and alignment shims are included with each kit.
Wilwood stainless steel brake hoses are recommended for all brake kits to complete installation.
W6AR/ST six piston radial mount calipers are coupled with the high cooling capacity of 14.25"? SV-GT staggered directional vane rotors to provide the ultimate brake package for unrestricted road race competition. Thermlock pistons in the calipers resist fade and extend service life by reducing the heat transfer from the pads, caliper body, fluid, and seals. Rotors mount to the hubs with forged aluminum hats and radial mount brackets secure the caliper to the spindle in the OE location without modification. Kits also include high temperature, high friction race compound pads and all premium grade fasteners. |
- Road Race kits contain high temperature racing pads. Extended low temperature use will cause premature rotor and pad wear.
