Product details
This Wilwood front conversion pairs black Superlite 6R calipers with 14-inch GT slotted rotors for the listed Jeep Wrangler JK configurations. The vented Spec-37 rings mount on separate hats over the original hubs, with BP-20 pads supplied for the selected combination. The kit changes the brake package while retaining the matching factory disc-spindle and hub arrangement. Wilwood Engineering was founded by Bill Wood in 1977 and is based in Camarillo, California. The company designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components, including calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings, and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance, and specialized applications.

Fitment & Compatibility
Verify Wrangler versus Wrangler JK model-year entries and the listed left/right-hand-drive or trim conditions. DS893 shows the original hub mounting and caliper bracket location. Check stud pattern and hat seating, then compare the 18-inch screening envelope with the chosen wheel's actual spokes and barrel. Hydraulic hoses are separate; lifted suspensions require suitable hose travel and routing rather than assumptions based on stock ride height.
Match the individual model, year, submodel and brake configuration in the fitment table below.
