Product details
Black Superlite service calipers work with 12.88-inch SRP drilled-and-slotted rotors in this Big Ford rear package. Parking shoes inside the rotor hats provide mechanical holding, with cables and clevis parts selected separately. Founded in 1977 by Bill Wood and based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering 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, selected to work together within a properly matched brake system.

Fitment & Compatibility
The 12.88-inch Superlite parking package needs a Big Ford New Style housing with the correct large-bearing flange. Verify the 2.50-inch axle offset and 6 x 5.5-inch lug pattern on the installed axle. The generic Town Car entry is conditional on that hardware and does not establish compatibility with a stock 1990 Town Car rear axle.
The supplied internal parking shoes require separate cables and clevis hardware. Use DS1649 to measure the 2.80-inch axle register, check the 6.80-inch maximum flange diameter and apply the specified edge chamfer. Plan new hydraulic hoses/fittings because the original lines cannot connect directly to this conversion.
Check the complete application table below, including its model-year splits and configuration notes.
