Product details
This Wilwood Superlite 6R kit is a front 14-inch Superlite disc upgrade for Ford Panther Platform: Crown Victoria, Town Car, Grand Marquis and Marauder. The 14-inch rotor package keeps a narrow six-piston caliper design and requires an 18-inch nominal wheel before profile checks. Wilwood Engineering began in 1977 with founder Bill Wood and is based in Camarillo, California. It designs disc brake systems and components for racing, performance-road and specialized use, from calipers and rotors to master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines; the complete system determines component selection.
Technical Details
- Manufacturer part number: 140-14681-R.
- At each caliper, the Superlite 6R configuration provides 6 pistons in stainless, housed in forged aluminum. The caliper attaches by radial mounting and is finished in Red Powder Coat.
- Inlet-port specification for hose/fitting selection is 1/8-27 NPT.
- For hydraulic matching, use the published 1.75, 1.25, 1.25-inch piston bores. Pads are the BP-10 compound.
- This version supplies gt slotted rotors in Spec-37 Iron. Their 14.00 in; 355.6 mm diameter and 1.25 in; 31.75 mm section are matched to the listed vented brake package.
- Rotor hats are individual aluminum components with Black E-Coat protection.
- The mounting interface uses 5 x 4.5 in; 5 x 114.3 mm; verify the nominal hat stud-hole clearance diameter of 0.580 in; 14.73 mm separately from the bolt circle.
- Hub compatibility is required for installation. No new wheel hubs are included.
- The listed brackets and fasteners belong to the kit. Spindles and the master-cylinder/booster assembly are outside the package.
- No hydraulic flexlines accompany the kit; supply the correct hoses and fittings for the documented caliper/chassis interface. Separate reference: 220-14690.
- Wheel clearance must be measured using the installation template; the manufacturer lists 18 in; 457.2 mm as the nominal minimum.
- Order quantity refers to one brake conversion kit, not an individual loose rotor or caliper.
Fitment & Compatibility
The exact listed applications cover 2003–2011 Crown Victoria, Town Car and Grand Marquis and 2003–2004 Marauder. Match wheelbase and factory spindle. DS-1241 limits the named 220-14690 hose reference to Crown Victoria; other cars need individually confirmed hoses. Reposition Crown Victoria hardlines carefully as instructed. Models covered: Crown Victoria, Town Car, Grand Marquis and Marauder. Use the complete application table at the bottom for the precise year, submodel, brake option and note attached to each row.
PMB Performance brings 20+ years of parts and fitment experience to brake-system selection. Share the actual spindle or axle details, existing brake package and wheel measurements if you need help confirming this configuration.
