Key Features

The Wilwood Narrow Superlite 4-Piston Rear Big Brake Kit combines advanced engineering with durable materials to provide reliable and consistent braking performance. Key features include:

• Forged Narrow Superlite 4R four-piston calipers with black powder coat finish for corrosion resistance and aesthetic appeal
• Slotted 12.88-inch diameter rotors designed to improve heat dissipation and reduce brake fade under demanding conditions
• BP-10 compound brake pads optimized for street and light performance use, offering excellent bite and modulation
• Maintains full use of the OE parking brake system, ensuring convenience and safety without modification
• Compatible with ABS and master cylinder output for seamless integration with factory brake systems
• Designed to complement front big brake upgrades ranging from 13 to 14 inches in diameter
• Requires a minimum 17-inch wheel diameter for proper clearance and fitment
• OEM axle offset of 0.00 and radial mount caliper design for precise alignment and ease of installation

Construction & Design

The calipers are forged from high-strength aluminum alloy, providing an excellent strength-to-weight ratio that reduces unsprung mass for improved suspension response. The Narrow Superlite design optimizes caliper size to fit behind a wide range of aftermarket wheels while delivering four-piston clamping force for consistent braking power. The rotors feature a slotted pattern that enhances pad bite and helps evacuate gases and debris, extending pad life and maintaining performance during repeated heavy braking.

Each component is finished with a durable black powder coat that resists corrosion and wear, ensuring long-lasting appearance and performance even in harsh environments. The kit’s engineering preserves the factory parking brake mechanism, eliminating the need for additional adapters or modifications.

Installation & Fitment

This rear big brake kit is designed as a direct bolt-on upgrade for the 2007–2018 Jeep Wrangler JK, requiring no custom fabrication or modification to the axle or suspension components. The radial mount calipers align precisely with the OEM axle offset, simplifying installation and ensuring reliable operation. Installation typically involves removing the factory rear brake components and replacing them with the Wilwood kit parts, while retaining the original parking brake cables and hardware.

Due to the larger rotor diameter, a minimum 17-inch wheel diameter is required to provide adequate clearance. This kit is ideal for Jeep owners who have upgraded their front brakes or wheels and tires and want a balanced rear braking solution.
