Wilwood 140-15949-DR Front Brake Kit for 1988-1998 GM C1500 5-Lug Trucks

Upgrade the front braking performance of your 1988-1998 GM full-size truck with the Wilwood 140-15949-DR Brake System Kit. Designed for 5-lug GM C1500 applications, this complete front brake package combines a Narrow Superlite six-piston aluminum caliper with a drilled and slotted iron rotor for responsive braking, improved heat management, and consistent performance under demanding driving conditions. The caliper is finished with a durable red powder coat that adds a clean, performance-oriented appearance behind the wheel.
The drilled and slotted rotor is engineered to help evacuate heat and gases from the braking surface while maintaining dependable friction across a wide range of operating conditions. Paired with Wilwood’s lightweight aluminum caliper construction, the system helps reduce unsprung weight compared with many original-equipment-style components. The six-piston configuration provides balanced pad loading and controlled clamping force for confident pedal response and smooth braking action.
This Wilwood front brake kit is intended for compatible 1988-1998 GM full-size truck applications and includes components selected to work together as a performance-focused system. Verify vehicle configuration, wheel clearance, axle setup, and installation requirements before ordering. Professional installation is recommended to ensure correct fitment, brake balance, and safe operation. The kit is not air restricted and does not require truck freight shipping.
