Product details
The new-style Currie Ford package requires the wheel bolt pattern to be machined into its blank hat sections. This Forged Dynalite rear disc and parking-brake kit combines black powder-coated 4-piston calipers and 12.19-inch plain-face rotors. Founded in 1977 by Bill Wood and based in Camarillo, California, Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures disc brake systems for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. Its range includes calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines, selected to work together as a complete brake system.

- Wheel-size guide: 15 in; 381 mm minimum nominal diameter; verify actual template clearance.

- Spindles, master cylinder, brake booster and hydraulic brake lines are not included.
Fitment & Compatibility
Use the new-style Currie Big Ford housing-end arrangement and a 2.50-inch axle-offset measurement for this kit. The wheel-pattern sections of its drum/rotors are supplied blank, allowing the correct bolt circle and clearance holes to be machined for the finished axle. That machining requirement applies to both plain and SRP friction surfaces. Discuss the drilling dimensions with a qualified machine shop before ordering and check the DS430 mounting drawing against the axle. This is not the old-style Currie flange package. The listed Town Car entry remains dependent on the actual Currie rear-end hardware. The mechanical parking shoes are included, but cable choice, routing and adjustment must be completed for the vehicle; hydraulic lines are also purchased separately.
Use the wheel-clearance drawing in the installation instructions before purchase. The catalog minimum diameter is a guide; barrel shape, spoke clearance and wheel offset still determine fit.
The application table below identifies the model-year and factory-equipment combinations. Match the entire row, including its numbered notes.
Package and installation requirements
- The one-piece iron drum/rotors incorporate the parking-brake drums; the internal shoes provide a mechanical parking brake independently of the four-piston service calipers.
- Parking-brake cables and hydraulic brake lines are separate. Wilwood references universal cable kit 330-9371; installation can require cable or vehicle modifications.
- The wheel-pattern sections are supplied blank. A qualified machine shop must establish the correct wheel bolt circle and stud clearance before installation; this is separate from the plain or SRP rotor friction-surface finish.
