Wilwood Front ProMatrix Brake Pads for Taurus (1995–2007), Continental (1995–2002), Cougar/Thunderbird (1993, 1997), Mark VIII (1993–1998) and Sable (2001–2005)

The D598 pattern serves selected Ford, Mercury and Lincoln front calipers across several sedan and coupe platforms. ProMatrix friction is supplied at a nominal 0.69-inch thickness, with the backing plate defining compatibility more closely than a shared vehicle platform. A complete brake system depends on compatible component selection. Wilwood Engineering designs and manufactures disc brake systems along with calipers, brake rotors, master cylinders, valves, fittings and brake lines for motorsport, street-performance and specialized use. Bill Wood founded Wilwood in 1977; the company is based in Camarillo, California.
