REKUDO JL8 Rear Calipers - Red
Fits 1968-1981 Chevrolet Camaro/Pontiac Firebird with JL8 Rear Brake System - Red with REKUDO Logo
Forged Aluminum JL8 Calipers - Pair with Red Powdercoat Finish & REKUDO Logo - Rear The 4-wheel disc brake upgrade (Corvette style 4-piston calipers for both front and rear) was offered on the 1968 Camaro as a "Heavy Duty Service" package sold through the parts counter at Chevrolet car dealers. In 1969, the 4-piston disc brakes could be ordered as a Regular Production Option (RPO) JL8 package on production vehicles. These high-end brakes were made available to support racing programs like the Sports Car Club of America® (SCCA), and Trans-Am® road racing series. This unique brake option is very rare and was only sold on about 200 production vehicles. The complete JL8 brake system is now available again with upgraded components like forged aluminum calipers, premium rotors, dust shields, brake hoses, spindles, hubs, and other parts. There are several options for caliper finish (with and without the REKUDO logo). This premium brake system can be used with the complete REKUDO suspension system for the 1970-1981 Camaro / Firebird. JL8 brake systems are ideal for use in all high-performance applications. SCCA®, Sports Car Club of America®, and Trans-Am® are registered trademarks of the Sports Car Club of America.
