Looking to upgrade your C6 Corvette's brake system, but not quite ready to pull the trigger on an entire brake system overhaul? Wilwood has the perfect solution - the new SLC56 direct fit brake caliper.
Wilwood's SLC56 front calipers are engineered as a high performance street and custom replacement for Corvettes and hot rods using Corvette suspension. These kits combine the high-tech styling and superior performance of the SLC56 calipers with the positive response, long wear, high fade resistance, and the "easy clean" properties of the Wilwood BP-10 compound Smart Pads. These kits are a direct bolt-on replacement for the OE calipers on all 2005-2013 base model Corvettes using the factory 12.8" diameter OE dimension front rotors. SLC56 calipers are designed to attach directly to the factory Corvette spindle WITHOUT the need for brackets or adapters and accept all types of OE banjo bolt style brake hoses.
Package includes (2) front SLC56 brake calipers, BP10 brake pads, SRP dimpled rotors, and stainless steel flex hoses to complete installation. Specify Red or Black calipers when ordering.
SLC56 is based on Wilwood's top performing Superlite caliper series. Calipers feature an ultra-high strength forged aluminum body, stainless steel pistons, internal piston damping springs, internal bore seals, stainless steel bridge wear plates, and a single screw bleed system. All SLC56 calipers accept the same type 7416 16mm thick brake pads as used in all narrow profile Superlite series calipers. Piston volume of the SLC56 is matched to the piston volume found in the OE calipers; making them fully compatible with the output of the OE master cylinder and the ABS system. Front to rear brake bias and pedal travel remain as stock. SLC56 calipers are externally finished with a high gloss red or black protective powder coating process that is both brake fluid and heat resistant. Internally, all surfaces and passages are anodized to provide additional corrosion resistance with a durable wear surface for stainless pistons inside. SLC56 calipers will maintain their stylish good looks and rugged durability for many miles to come.
SRP Dimpled rotors offer the high tech look and improved performance of a directional cross-drill and face slot pattern. In addition to the aesthetic appeal, the venting and cleaning action of the dimple and slot pattern helps to reduce pad glaze and minimize irregular pad build-up on the rotor faces. The results are a smoother engagement feel at the pedal and consistent response from the pads. Each rotor is precision machined to less than .001 tolerance for overall flatness, parallelism, and radial run-out on long grain carbon iron castings. The rotors are finished with a black electro coat to provide corrosion resistance.
NOTE: SLC56 caliper kits have been checked to clear C6 base model wheels. All aftermarket wheels should be checked for proper clearance prior to installation. Wheel spacers may be required on some applications. Please refer to the wheel clearance diagram for additional information on backdrop spacing and radial clearance requirements.
