LS Front 12 Inch Disc Brake Swap Kit for 1967-1969 Camaro 1964-1972 Chevelle 1968-1974 Nova
The 12" Front Brake Swap Kit for Disc Spindles solves the common issue of overheated drum brakes in LS swapped Camaros, Chevelles and Novas by delivering larger rotors and multi piston calipers. By mounting directly to GM two piece spindles on 1967-1969 Camaros, 1964-1972 Chevelles and 1968-1974 Novas using common hand tools, the kit preserves factory geometry for precise steering feel and consistent pedal response. Engineered around twelve inch cast iron rotors and premium Wilwood calipers, each component resists fade during street runs or track sessions. With a clear step by step guide and direct bolt-on fit, installation avoids welding or fabrication, letting enthusiasts complete the upgrade quickly and confidently.
Precision Engineered Spindle Attachment
The brake swap kit uses a direct bolt on method to secure components to the GM two piece front spindles, preserving the factory steering geometry without any welding or fabrication. By matching the rotor face and caliper bracket to the original spindle mounting points, installers retain the correct camber and caster settings for predictable handling. This precision fit also maintains the stock kingpin alignment and ensures that steering feel remains responsive under repeated stops. With only common hand tools required and a clear step by step guide included, enthusiasts can complete the upgrade with confidence and minimal downtime. The result is a secure, repeatable connection that withstands the forces of spirited driving without altering the vehicle's alignment baseline.
Enhanced Thermal Control from 12 Inch Cast Iron Rotors
Upgrading to larger 12 inch rotors significantly increases the surface area available for heat absorption, slowing thermal buildup during aggressive street or track use. These rotors are cast from high density iron, known for its superior thermal conductivity and resistance to warping under elevated temperatures. As brake pad pressure generates frictional heat, the expanded rotor spreads that energy across a wider zone, minimizing hot spots and reducing the risk of fade. Consistent pad contact and uniform wear help maintain steady stopping power throughout extended braking episodes. This level of thermal management is especially valuable when an LS engine's extra output places higher demands on front stopping performance.
Wilwood Multi Piston Calipers for Uniform Clamping
Premium Wilwood calipers incorporate multiple pistons to apply even pressure over the entire pad surface, which combats uneven wear and enhances pad life. The precision machined aluminum alloy bodies offer the strength needed to resist flex under high load while keeping unsprung weight to a minimum for improved suspension response. Inside, piston seals and bore finishes are engineered for smooth, consistent movement, delivering a linear pedal feel from light highway braking to emergency stops. Each caliper is rigorously tested to guarantee leak free operation and reliable performance under repeated cycles. This design focus yields predictable modulation and strong initial bite, features that keep pace with the demands of an LS powered site.
Premium American Made Materials and Complete Kit Components
Every major component in this kit is sourced or manufactured domestically, reflecting strict quality standards at each production stage. The rotors are poured in U.S. foundries using high grade iron alloys, then precision machined to tight tolerances for flatness and run out. Brake pads arrive matched to the Wilwood calipers with a friction compound formulated for strong initial bite and progressive engagement. All necessary brackets, fasteners and hardware are CNC formed and heat treated to ensure durability and a reliable clamp interface. A detailed installation booklet guides users through each assembly step, making the entire process straightforward and repeatable without the need for specialized jigs or tools.
This kit delivers dependable stopping power and consistent pedal feel for your LS brake upgrade.
