The red-caliper Cadillac package retains a plain 11.88-inch vented rotor surface and incorporates the wheel hub into each iron rotor. BP-10 pads, bearing parts, brackets and 18-inch front hoses support the documented drum-spindle conversion. 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 for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Its range includes calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines, with each part selected to match the complete brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility

Use the individual Cadillac applications rather than assuming every model spans all four years. Follow DS1125 for correct spindle spacers and bearing adjustment. Confirm 5 x 5 wheels, the +0.09-inch hub shift and the complete nominal 15-inch wheel envelope.

Listed model families are Commercial Chassis, DeVille, Eldorado, Series 60 Fleetwood, Series 62, Series 75 Fleetwood, Series 70 Fleetwood Eldorado; the individual year and brake/spindle conditions remain decisive. Use the fitment table below to confirm year, model, trim and brake or suspension options.

With more than 20 years of parts experience, PMB Performance can help review the specified brake arrangement. Include the vehicle year and details of any hub, spindle or suspension changes.

Check the Installation instructions for the full assembly and wheel-clearance requirements.
