The Front Brake Kit Corvette 97-04 C5 by WILWOOD is purpose-built for drivers demanding stopping power that matches the performance capability of fifth-generation Corvettes. From law enforcement pursuit vehicles to high-performance street and track applications, this complete front brake system transforms stopping distance and pedal modulation on the C5 platform. Whether you're upgrading from factory brakes or retrofitting for sustained braking performance, this kit delivers the thermal capacity and durability required for serious driving.
The system features a 4-piston caliper architecture with 12.8-inch drilled and slotted iron rotors, engineered to increase heat dissipation and reduce brake fade during extended use. The aluminum construction keeps unsprung weight minimal while the black powder-coat finish resists corrosion and maintains appearance under harsh conditions. Drilled and slotted rotor design improves wet-weather performance and extends pad life by promoting consistent friction characteristics across the entire rotor surface. This design approach is proven in law enforcement and motorsport applications where brake reliability is non-negotiable.
Installation is direct-fit for 1997–2004 Chevrolet Corvette C5 models, requiring no modifications to mounting surfaces or brake lines. The complete kit arrives at 57 pounds and is packaged to dimensions of 12.38 x 5.63 x 12.38 inches for efficient delivery and storage. Drivers operating pursuit, towing, or high-mileage applications will benefit most from the increased thermal envelope and pad contact area this system provides. Compatibility is exclusive to the C5 generation; verify your model year and chassis before ordering.
