Wilwood 120-13915-BK SLC56 Front Brake Caliper - Black Powder Coated

The Wilwood SLC56 front brake caliper is a high-performance fixed-mount, four-piston caliper engineered as a direct replacement for Corvette C5 (1997-2004) and base model C6 (2005-2013) applications using 12.8" diameter front rotors. This caliper delivers superior braking performance with balanced pad loading and positive pedal response while maintaining compatibility with factory ABS systems and brake bias.

Key Features:

• Ultra-high strength forged aluminum body with stainless steel pistons
• Direct bolt-on replacement for OE C5/C6 Corvette calipers
• Four-piston fixed-mount design for balanced pad loading and consistent performance
• Internal piston damping springs and bore seals reduce noise and vibration
• Stainless steel bridge wear plates for extended service life
• Single screw bleed system for easy maintenance
• Accepts Type 7416 16mm thick brake pads (Wilwood narrow profile Superlite series)
• Piston volume matched to OE specifications for proper ABS and brake bias compatibility
• Black high-gloss powder coating exterior (brake fluid and heat resistant)
• Anodized internal surfaces for corrosion resistance and durability

Based on Wilwood's proven Superlite caliper series and developed using advanced computer modeling, the SLC56 combines modern styling with race-proven technology. The piston volume is precisely matched to OE master cylinder output, ensuring proper pedal travel and front-to-rear brake bias without modification. This also makes the SLC56 compatible with custom hot rod applications when paired with properly sized master cylinders.

Important Installation Note: While these calipers have been verified to clear Z06 wheels, all OE and aftermarket wheels should be checked for proper clearance before installation. Wheel spacers may be required on some applications. Consult Wilwood's wheel clearance diagram for backdrop spacing and radial clearance specifications.
