Wilwood Red Front Superlite Kit with Drilled Rotor Rings and Aluminum Hubs for Selected Ford/Edsel/Mercury Full-Size Drum-Spindle Applications

Red Superlite 6R calipers and drilled 12.88-inch rotor rings distinguish this version of the full-size front hub kit. Aluminum hats and hubs provide the specified mounting interfaces, and separate brake hoses must be chosen for the vehicle's chassis plumbing. This is a Wilwood Engineering conversion package. Bill Wood founded the company in 1977, and it is based in Camarillo, California. Wilwood designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components, from calipers and brake rotors to master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. Its motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications require each component to match the complete brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility

Read the model and year conditions below, then verify the retained factory drum spindle, bearing seats and wheel pattern. The wheel check must account for the radial caliper, hub offset and spoke shape; a nominal 17-inch diameter alone cannot confirm clearance.

Separate front flexline references are 220-8307, 220-7699 and 220-12168; select the length and vehicle-end connection appropriate to the chassis. Listed hub offset is +0.03 inch per side.

Use the fitment table below for the complete model, year, submodel and brake-option conditions; every listed condition must match the installed vehicle.
