Rear Brake Kit -Big Ford w/2.5in Offset Soft Pads

The Rear Brake Kit - Big Ford w/2.5in Offset Soft Pads (model B1707WC) is a purpose-built drag racing brake system engineered for high-performance Ford 9-inch applications requiring maximum stopping power and heat dissipation. Designed by STRANGE, a leader in motorsport brake technology, this rear kit addresses the specific demands of dedicated drag race platforms where OEM braking is insufficient. Whether you're building a dedicated quarter-mile machine or upgrading an existing performance Ford, this system delivers the thermal capacity and modulation necessary for consistent lap-after-lap reliability in competitive environments.

This rear brake kit features a 4-piston caliper design paired with an 11.250-inch one-piece slotted rotor, ensuring even pad contact and superior heat rejection during repeated heavy braking cycles. The offset hat design—combined with the 2.5-inch offset soft pads—optimizes brake bias distribution and allows tuning flexibility across varying track conditions and weight transfer scenarios. Constructed from aluminum and finished in durable black, the assembly accommodates big bearing hubs typical of drag race rear ends while the slotted rotor geometry promotes gas and debris evacuation, maintaining consistent friction coefficients even under extreme thermal stress. This configuration is standard among Pro Series drag racing platforms where brake fade elimination is non-negotiable.

This kit is ideal for serious drag racers, dedicated bracket racers, and performance shops building Ford 9-inch rear-end assemblies for competition use. Installation requires proper alignment and brake line routing to the existing hardlines or custom brake distribution system; professional installation is strongly recommended to ensure correct pad bedding and system pressure balancing. The modular design integrates seamlessly with front brake kits of matching specifications, allowing builders to achieve true dual-circuit braking architecture. Weighing 28.2 lbs, the complete kit ships ready for integration into existing suspension and brake line configurations on vehicles where stock stopping capability has been outpaced by engine modifications.
