55-57 Chevrolet Disc Brake Kits

We have a wide selection of brake kits for your 55-57 Chevrolet.  We always recommend the purchase of the Wilwood brake kits over the OEM (factory) type because of the amount of pressure that is required to operate the C calipers.  What you save on your initial purchase will be lost with the headaches, time and parts you have to buy in addition to the normal master cylinder used with a 4 or 6 piston caliper kit.  

We now have a "Zero Offset" brake kit for this spindles.  By designing a special hub this brake kit does not move the hubs out and retains stock turning radius.
Add the Forged Superlite and DynaPro6 upgrades to your "Zero Offset" 11.75 or 12.19 brake kit.  Inexpensive addition to get a 9.5" caliper upgrade.

Please take the time to read the Brake Article and Frequent Asked Question, the time you spend reading this will be well worth your trouble and might even save someone's life.

Heidts' 2" drop spindle: Their drop spindle is designed with the oil seal and inner bearing location approximately 0.600" outward from the stock location. We are only able to move the wheel flange back about 0.300" without compromising caliper to wheel clearances. Our kits will allow you to use almost any wheel and save you the cost of buying custom wheels with special spokes just to clear the calipers. You will not have to use spacers or buy "front wheel" style rims with our brake kit. It is all about the look and without that reverse look your 55-57 Chevy will look like a front wheel drive import. Check out Tom Gross' 56 Chevy below and you will see what I mean.
