Wilwood New-Style Ford Shorter-Offset Rear Kit — Polished Dynalite, SRP 12.19-inch Parking Rotors, 2.36-inch Offset

Polished calipers finish the patterned-disc package for a 2.36-inch new-style Ford axle. For Big Ford New Style, 2.36-inch offset, Wilwood specifies polished 4-piston calipers and 12.19-inch SRP drilled-and-slotted rotors in this rear package. Bill Wood founded Wilwood Engineering in 1977. From Camarillo, California, the company designs and manufactures disc brake systems and components including calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance and specialized applications. This kit should be matched to the hydraulic and mechanical requirements of the complete vehicle.

Package and installation requirements

• Mechanical parking is provided by shoes within the rotor’s integral drum. The 12.19-inch disc surfaces are operated by the service calipers, so cable adjustment does not replace hydraulic brake setup.
• This kit supplies no parking cable or flexline set. Wilwood identifies universal cable kit 330-9371; confirm the required routing and any installation modifications.

Fitment & Compatibility

Although this package uses the Big Ford new-style/Torino flange, its required axle offset is 2.36 inches. That dimension differentiates it from the commonly encountered 2.50-inch version with a similar housing-end description. Check the actual shaft and housing combination against DS498 and the offset worksheet rather than inferring the offset from the flange name. The 1990 Lincoln Town Car row below does not override those measurements. The one-piece drum/rotor houses an internal parking-brake shoe assembly, while the four-piston caliper operates the service brake. Before fitting the system, establish how the parking cables will attach and release, select the hydraulic lines, and check the complete wheel profile. The nominal 15-inch wheel guide is not a promise that every 15-inch wheel clears.

Review the fitment table and numbered notes below together; a matching model name alone does not establish the installation.
