    QTY
    140-10790 - Wilwood Bolt-On Corvette Brake Calipers and Kits is rated 5.0 out of 5 by 2.
    Rated 5 out of 5 by from typical Wilwood quality I purchased these kits for both front and rear of my 82 Corvette Collectors Edition. Stock calipers only last about 5 years because Corvettes sit a lot of the time in Montana. {Weather}. Very pleased, everything fit like it was supposed to. Very good quality merchandise.

    Rated 5 out of 5 by from Perfect Fit with a small issue caveat Very Happy with the light weight and expected high quality from Willwood concerning the calipers themselves. The only issue worth mentioning though concerns the supplied mounting bolts and washers. The bolts Willwood supplies are a bit longer than the stock caliper bolts. Looking at the aluminum casting reveals why. Willwood's rear caliper is cast a little wider where the bolts go through for mounting. Too wide to re-use your original mounting bolts how-ever not so much wider that it needs bolts as long as those supplied. If you follow the directions the washers supplied won't take up enough of the length and in my case they protruded into the rotor. Easy fix, fatter washers than those supplied. Maybe this is only a problem for my '79 and it may not be an issue for all years but it is something you want to check after torquing the mounting bolts. Beyond the bolt length issue though it couldn't have been easier. This a direct replacement with no other fitment issues and they work and look good. The weight savings on the full 4 caliper replacement certainly can't hurt either. Over-all very happy.
