Product details
Build rear drag brakes around a Big Ford New Style flange and 2.50-inch offset. Single XRD calipers work with 11.25-inch dynamic Super Alloy rotors. The wheel-end assembly is selected by its measured housing-end interface and racing hydraulic arrangement. From Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures disc brake systems for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Founded in 1977 by Bill Wood, the company produces calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines. Component selection depends on the requirements of the complete braking system.

Fitment & Compatibility
Select this rear drag-racing kit by the Big Ford New Style flange and measured 2.50-inch axle offset. One four-piston XRD caliper mounts at each rear rotor; match the bearing retainers and bracket bolt centers. The dynamic lug-drive hats retain the drilled Super Alloy rotors with internal snap rings, allowing the rotor and hat to expand separately. Hat drillings do not alter the axle wheel pattern. Provide hydraulic flexlines separately and use the exact wheel-clearance drawing. Vehicle names in the table below (Town Car) do not establish the installed rear housing; confirm the axle measurements individually.
