Wilwood Ford Explorer 8.8in Rear Axle Dynapro Disc Brake Kit 11in Drilled/Slotted Rotor -Red Caliper

This kit gives you everything you need to upgrade the rear brakes on your Ford Explorer with an 8.8-inch axle to a high-performance disc setup. You get a pair of Wilwood's red Dynapro four-piston calipers, a pair of 11-inch drilled and slotted rotors, and all the necessary brackets and hardware to mount them. This is a significant upgrade over stock drum brakes, offering much better stopping power and heat dissipation, which is crucial if you're towing, hauling heavy loads, or driving spiritedly.

The Dynapro calipers are well-built with a forged aluminum body for strength and light weight. They use four pistons to provide even clamping force across the 11-inch rotors. These rotors are drilled to help vent gases and heat, and slotted to clear dust and moisture, ensuring consistent performance even under demanding conditions. The kit is designed to be a direct bolt-on for Ford Explorer 8.8-inch rear axles, meaning no welding or fabrication is typically required for installation, though you'll want to consult the manufacturer's instructions for specific details and any potential modifications needed for your exact vehicle configuration.

Upgrading your rear brakes with this kit will noticeably improve your vehicle's stopping capability and fade resistance. It's a solid choice for Explorers that see regular use or are modified for heavier duty. Remember that when upgrading your rear brakes, it's often a good idea to check the condition of your master cylinder and proportioning valve to ensure they can properly manage the increased braking force.
