Wilwood Disc/Drum Rear Kit FDPLP-DS Big Ford

Wilwood is well-known for making high-performance braking components, and this rear disc/drum brake kit is a prime example of their work. This kit is designed to upgrade the rear braking system on vehicles equipped with the Big Ford New Style rear axle. It replaces your existing drum brakes with a more capable disc brake setup, while still accommodating the drum parking brake mechanism.

This kit features a 1-piece 11.00-inch rotor, which offers a good balance of stopping power and heat dissipation for many applications. The caliper included is designed to work with this rotor size and provides solid clamping force. The kit also includes a 2.50-inch offset, which is crucial for proper alignment with the Big Ford New Style axle. This setup is a popular choice for builders looking to improve rear braking performance and gain the benefits of disc brakes, such as easier maintenance and more consistent stopping, while retaining a functional parking brake.

When installing this kit, ensure you have the correct tools and refer to the manufacturer's instructions for precise details on mounting the caliper and rotor, as well as connecting the parking brake cables. This upgrade is a significant step towards a more robust and responsive braking system for your vehicle.
