Product details
SRP friction surfaces do not mean the wheel bolt circles are drilled on this Currie kit. The supplied black powder-coated 4-piston calipers and 12.19-inch SRP drilled-and-slotted rotors are configured for Currie Big Ford New Style, blank wheel-pattern hats. Wilwood Engineering began in 1977 under founder Bill Wood and is based in Camarillo, California. The company designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components for motorsport, street-performance and specialized vehicles. Calipers, rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines must be selected around the needs of the complete system.
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.
Check the actual wheel against the manufacturer template, including the inner barrel and back of the spokes. A nominal wheel diameter by itself does not guarantee clearance.
Use the complete vehicle row and its application notes below to check model year, trim and original brake equipment.

- Rotor construction: Iron; vented; SRP Drilled & Slotted friction surface.
- Sold as one kit. Mounting hardware is included. Hubs are not included.
- Brake pads are included; use the compound and installation instructions specified for this rotor package.
- Spindles, master cylinder, brake booster and hydraulic brake lines are not included.

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.
