Wilwood Rear AERO4 Service/EPB Brake Package, Red Calipers and 14-Inch Drilled/Slotted Rotors, Big Ford New Style

The red AERO4 rear EPB kit supplies 14.00-inch SRP rotor rings, separate hats and four-piston service calipers using BP-10 pads. Red parking calipers apply electrical holding force under control of the supplied harness, switch and controller. It is an axle-specific conversion for the new-style Big Ford flange at 2.50-inch offset. Check both the motor envelope and hydraulic service-caliper clearance before final assembly. Bill Wood founded Wilwood Engineering in 1977; the company is based in Camarillo, California. It designs and manufactures calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. This kit is one configuration within that disc-brake-system range and must be matched to the vehicle build.

Fitment & Compatibility

Application is controlled by the Big Ford new-style housing flange and a measured 2.50-inch axle offset. 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.

With over 20 years of parts and fitment experience, PMB Performance can help compare the required mounting interface with the vehicle build. Share spindle or axle measurements and wheel information before ordering if anything is uncertain.
