Product details
This Wilwood Superlite 6R kit is a front 12.88-inch disc upgrade for Crown Victoria, Town Car, Grand Marquis and Marauder. The 12.88 x 1.25-inch rotors mount on separate aluminum hats and work with six-piston Superlite calipers. From its Camarillo, California base, Wilwood Engineering designs disc brake systems for motorsport, street-performance and specialized needs. Founded in 1977 by Bill Wood, its range covers calipers, rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines chosen to work within a complete brake system.
