Product details
Red Superlite calipers and drilled-and-slotted rotors identify this staggered-mount rear kit. The parking shoes act inside the aluminum hats, while the bracket geometry places each hydraulic caliper on the side of the axle needed to clear the specified shock arrangement. The manufacturer, Wilwood Engineering, was founded in 1977 by Bill Wood and is based in Camarillo, California. Its design and manufacturing work covers disc brake systems and components, including calipers, rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. Motorsport, street-performance and specialized installations each require the individual parts to suit the complete brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility
Match the measured Big Ford New Style flange, bearing and 2.50-inch offset to DS1052. Verify the actual axle before using the 1990 Town Car row as a fitment decision. Check both caliper positions, wheel space and the separately required hose and cable components.
For staggered shock mounts, the right-hand caliper mounts behind the axle and the left-hand caliper ahead of it. Verify this orientation against the shock and suspension clearance.
Use the fitment table below for the complete model, year, submodel and brake-option conditions; every listed condition must match the installed vehicle.
