Check it out. Forged billet
Wilwood Dynalite calipers, 12.19-inch
diameter rotors, and modern brake
pads will give your Chevelle vastly
improved braking performance. This
means a full range of options, includ-
ing caliper finish and rotor design,
which will enable you to personalize
your vintage Chevy from the mildest
restomod to the wildest Pro Touring
ride. If you’re building a mild street
restomod where you’d like to retain
the look your Chevelle had in high
school the good news is the ability
to fit 15-inch Rally rims over these
12-inch rotors and Dynalite calipers.W
e tend to put the cart before the horse in our car
building efforts. There’s always a big quest for power,
yet with no real idea on how to manage it. You can
have all the power in the world, but if you cannot control it you’re
cruising on thin ice and likely to wind up in one of those YouTube
“Fail!” crash videos. The best kind of crash is the one you avoid. You
can avoid the unthinkable with a good handling package under-
neath, sticky skins on the ground, and a set of Wilwood binders in
all four corners.
Wilwood’s Dynalite Big Brake Front Hub Kits give you the advan-
tage of larger diameter brake rotors for more traditional non-ABS
spindles like we find on classic Chevelles, Camaros, Impalas, and Novas.
You can get into the best braking technology without having to give
up your favorite period wheels. And while huge six-pistons calipers
and 13- or 14-inch rotors are cool, most cars stop just fine with smaller,
more wallet friendly binders.UP SIZING
