{"product_id":"wilwood-140-15844-r","title":"Wilwood Red Superlite 4R Rear Brake Conversion with 12.88-Inch GT Slotted Rotors and Electronic Parking, 2.50-Inch New-Style Big Ford","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor a rear axle that meets the specified new-style Big Ford interface, this kit pairs red four-piston Superlite calipers with GT slotted Spec-37 iron rotors. Their 12.88 × 1.10-inch dimensions differ from the larger 14-inch packages. Separate electric parking calipers remove the need for mechanical parking cables, while an included controller and wiring operate the static holding function. Wilwood Engineering was established in 1977 by Bill Wood in Camarillo, California. The company designs and manufactures disc-brake systems and components, from calipers and rotors to master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines, for motorsport, street-performance and specialized installations. Each component must match the rest of the brake system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eManufacturer part number: 140-15844-R.

The application table lists a 1990 Lincoln Town Car, but the manufacturer does not currently confirm that model application. Do not order for a Town Car by year\/model alone; verify the housing-end drawing, bearing retainer and offset first. Check axle-flange diameter, wheel seating, wheel profile and EPB motor clearance through suspension travel. The electronic parking system is for stationary parking hold, not an emergency stop brake. Mounting brackets must allow both service and parking calipers to clear the body and suspension. Use the complete application table below for the individual year, submodel, brake configuration and note attached to each entry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePMB Performance has over 20 years of experience working with parts and fitment details.
