Wilwood Electronic Parking Brake Rear Retrofit Kit w/ Switch Harness - Red Powder Coat Caliper

If you're upgrading your rear braking system and want to ditch the old mechanical parking brake cables for a cleaner, more modern setup, this Wilwood Electronic Parking Brake Rear Retrofit Kit is a solid choice. This kit replaces your existing rear calipers with performance units that incorporate an integrated electronic actuator for the parking brake function. It’s a popular way to clean up the look of your rear suspension and simplify the parking brake operation, especially on custom builds or vehicles where the original cable routing is problematic.

Wilwood calipers are well-known in the performance braking world, and this kit uses their robust aluminum construction for a good balance of strength and light weight. The red powder coat finish not only looks sharp but also offers a layer of protection against corrosion. Inside the caliper, the electronic parking brake mechanism is designed for reliable engagement and release, controlled by the included switch harness. This means no more fiddling with cables; a simple switch activates the brake. The kit is designed to work with specific rotor sizes, so be sure to check the specifications to ensure compatibility with your existing or planned rear rotor setup. Installation involves mounting the calipers, connecting the electronic actuator wiring to the provided harness, and integrating the switch into your cabin.

When installing this kit, you'll want to ensure you have the correct rotor diameter and thickness for the caliper to mount properly. The electronic actuator requires a power source and a ground, so plan your wiring accordingly. This kit is a significant upgrade for those looking to modernize their vehicle's braking and parking brake system, offering a clean installation and reliable performance.
