Press Release PR-161


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:


Camarillo, CA • May 2013

Wilwood Disc Brakes has recently introduced a new D154 rear parking brake kit that features the latest in disc brake technology. The D154 Pro Series rear disc conversion kit with integral parking brake provides high-tech styling for the street and track. Experience big brake stopping power from 12.19” diameter rotors and two-piston floating mount calipers for ultimate control with big wheel and tire packages. Application specific engineered kits feature bolt-on installation and full compatibility with the OE master cylinder output.

Kit part number 140-13025 is applicable to the 12 bolt Chevy rear end with staggered shock mounts. This kit not only provides better performance, but also the advantages of a parking brake for situations where parking brake functionality is needed.

Custom forged billet aluminum alloy two-piston design GM D154 metric style calipers in black or red powder coat provide correct rear bias and improved clamping efficiency with balanced pad loading over OE cast iron single piston calipers. Calipers work in conjunction with large 12.19” diameter ULHP plain face vented rotors providing cool running, long wear, and increased stopping leverage. Optional SRP drilled and slotted rotors are also available.

Wilwood BP-10 compound “Smart Pads” round out the kit and are a very unique rotor friendly metallic composite that offers low dust and quiet engagement with higher friction, heavier load capacity, and increased fade resistant over regular OE style or ceramic compound pads. Other brake pad compounds, including those for track day and off-road applications are also available.

DOT approved Stainless steel braided and jacket reinforced flex lines are available separately to connect the calipers to the OE brake lines on the axle.

All of Wilwood’s performance brake kits are loaded with cutting edge technology built on years of domination in world motorsports, and proven reliable through Zero PPM defect supply to OEM’s. Wilwood’s Big Brake Kits are designed to meet the high performance demands of today’s tire, wheel and suspension technology.
