Wilwood Ford Explorer 8.8in Rear Axle Dynalite Disc Brake Kit 12.19in Rotor -Black Caliper

This kit gives you everything you need to upgrade the rear brakes on your Ford Explorer's 8.8-inch axle to a high-performance disc setup. You get a pair of 12.19-inch diameter rotors, Wilwood's popular black-finished Dynalite four-piston calipers, and all the necessary brackets and hardware to get them mounted up. This is a significant upgrade over the stock drum brakes, offering much better stopping power and heat dissipation, which is crucial if you've modified your vehicle or plan on towing.

The Dynalite calipers are well-known for their compact size and solid performance, making them a great choice for rear axle upgrades where space can sometimes be tight. The four-piston design helps distribute clamping force evenly across the larger 12.19-inch rotors, which are vented to help manage heat during repeated stops. This improved thermal capacity means less brake fade when you're really pushing your vehicle, whether that's on the street or during spirited driving. The black caliper finish also adds a clean, aggressive look behind your wheels.

Installing a rear disc brake kit like this is a substantial project, so make sure you're prepared for the work involved. It's a great way to balance out front brake upgrades and ensure your entire braking system is up to the task. Refer to the manufacturer's installation instructions for detailed guidance on mounting and any specific requirements for your vehicle's 8.8-inch axle.
