FNSL6R billet Forged six-piston calipers with 13”-14” rotors deliver the ultimate combination for braking power and style in this group of kits engineered for traditional non-ABS spindles on American muscle cars and vintage rods. Built exclusively for 17” and larger wheels, SL6 kits enhance tire and suspension upgrades on all types of custom show and high performance dual-purpose street and track machines. A full range of options for caliper finishes and rotor designs are guaranteed to catch the eye of the most discriminating enthusiast while providing optimized brake performance for every individual application.

Though we’re big fans of drum brakes in the rear, we understand that rear discs brings some advantages, especially in track scenarios. But there’s a reason we like the stock brakes: the rear axle flexes. It flexes a lot. I don’t care if you have a Currie unit from a Sherman tank, the rear axles will flex. This has the effect of pushing the rotors (which are mounted to the axles) around within the caliper. So instead of having the pads gently riding the rotor, there’s a gap. This gap has to be filled when pushing the brake, which makes the whole system feel inconsistent and scary.

So what do guys do? They buy a bigger master (which moves more fluid at a lower pressure, resulting in even worse brake feel), they back it up with a brake booster (don’t get me started) and then they start asking about firewall reinforcements because they have to put so much effort into the brake pedal.

We want to use discs in the rear, so how do we overcome this problem? We opt for a floating caliper like the one found in the Wilwood D154 setup. The floating caliper effectively moves with the rear, minimizing the air gap that’s naturally created. Frankly, it’s the only rear setup we really like.

Wilwood’s D154 Rear Caliper Kit offers a direct bolt-on 2-piston replacement with a floating caliper design, helping to minimize pad knock back and improve brake feel. Forged billet aluminum bodies, stainless steel pistons, and competition style high-temperature seals put an end to the rust, bore pitting, and seal failures that plague the OE caliper design. D154 calipers provide low-maintenance performance and a huge weight savings with high temperature reliability for the street and track. D52 calipers mount in the stock location over stock rotors; use the original style OE D154 brake pads and an OE M10-1.5 banjo bolt brake line mounting. Calipers can be used with most wheels that clear the OE calipers.

We also include a set of our big pin spindles in this kit. It’s a worthwhile upgrade that helps to ensure a solid foundation for your new braking system. This kit comes with DRP Hub Bearing Spacers as well, a small but significant addition.

For pads, we include Wilwood’s BP-20, which provides increased friction levels with extended temperature range over BP-10. BP-20 has a progressive response rate as pedal pressure and temperatures increase to provide confident, repeated stops and outstanding modulation characteristics. The unique metallic composite formulation provides an aggressive feel without the harsh noise, high rotor abrasion, and extreme dust levels associated with high metallic based compounds.

This kit includes:

• Wilwood Superlite 6 Front Brakes & Rotors
• Wilwood D154 Rear Brakes & Rotors
• MMI’s Recommended Brake Pads
• Big Pin Spindles
• Wilwood Mustang Specific Master Cylinder
• Stainless Steel Front and Rear Flex Lines
• DRP Bearing Spacers

Based on years of firsthand experience, we’ve found this combination of parts to deliver the feel most customers are looking for on the street and autocross (with seldom track use). Included is a set of Wilwood Dynapro 6 piston calipers and rotors, a set of Wilwood D154 calipers and rotors, our big pin spindles, stainless front brake lines, and a 15/16″ Wilwood tandem master cylinder and proportioning valve specific to early Mustangs.

If you heard “6-piston” and immediately thought race car, you’re not alone. But we don’t recommend this caliper because “race car”, rather the simple fact that six pistons help to maximize brake pad longevity and reduce heat. It’s that simple. We also include a set of our big pin spindles in this kit. It’s a worthwhile upgrade that helps to ensure a solid foundation for your new braking system. We also include a set of DRP Hub Bearing Spacers, a small but significant addition.

If you’re looking for a proper upgrade to your early Mustang’s braking system and want to skip the guesswork, MOD Complete is the way to go for a complete system upgrade.

• Wilwood Dynapro 6 Brake Calipers & Rotors
• Wilwood D154 Rear Brake Calipers & Rotors
• MMI’s Recommended Pads
• Big Pin Spindles

• Wilwood Mustang Specific Master Cylinder

And the benefit doesn’t stop there.  Bearing spacers make the most difference when a side load (cornering force), is applied.  Drivers have commented on how much faster a car with bearing spacers free rolls when entering and through the center of the corner.

Bearing spacers simplify and reduce hub maintenance.  Spindle nut torque is no longer sensitive.  In fact, with spacers installed, you can tighten the spindle nut as much as you want without overtightening the bearings.  (We recommend 20-40 ft lbs.)  Bearings will run cooler and do not need to be repacked as often.

Bearing spacers are simple to install.  DRP Bearing Spacers have a threaded adjustment, allowing the user to quickly set bearing end play or preload.  A set-screw locks the spacer at the desired adjustment. Once installed, they do not need to be readjusted unless you replace the hub or bearings.

Bearing spacers are used in virtually every application in professional motorsports.

DRP Adjustable Bearing Spacers are covered under US Patent No 3,312,162.

DRP Bearing Spacers will only fit the “big pin spindle” found in 1970 and up Mustangs. Sold in Pairs
