4. Rear Brake KitsWe now have 3 different kits with new internal parking brake assemblies with Dynalite calipers, with Forged Superlite Calipers and the 12.90" rotors with the radial mount Superlite 4 Calipers. Street application with 2 piece vented rotors and a built in emergency brake system.  Do not get this kit confused with the cheaper "7000 series" Wilwood rear disc brake kit.  These kits are shown as being discontinued by other vendors, but are available through our distribution and are still being made for Hot Rods USA.

For no parking brake application we have vented or non-vented rotors.  

For rear disc brake kit applications using the factory (OEM) emergency brake..

Special kits are made for applications not covered by Wilwood.  We have them for the 63-82 Corvette, 55-64 Chev and special offsets like a 2.75" for Chev/GM 10 & 12 Bolt and 2.50" for the small bearing Ford.  The 2 piece rotor allows us to make these changes.

5. Information on Master Cylinders and Boosters: Information on master cylinders and generic replacements when switching form drum application to disc brakes.  Be sure to check out Wilwood's new master cylinder as shown in all the magazines!  Check the output pressure of the master cylinder by reviewing the formula for m/c pressure.

6. Proportional valves and OEM type distribution blocks.  We have OEM type distribution/proportional valves in brass, aluminum and chrome.  They come with or with brackets and lines.  I do not receommend using this with your brake system. For optimum performance we recommend the Wilwood adjustable proportional valve.  For information on technical information on proportional valves.

7. All Wilwood drilled/slotted rotors are now black.
