I'm showing 28lbs on the 14" rotors.
I need to brake harder? WHY? Brakes JUST slow you down.
The '13 rear brakes are new, and bigger, but they're still a single piston caliper, much like the '94-12.even on the 13 ? what is difference on the rear brakes for 13 gt500 or standard ? They are still using the same caliper since 2005 yes ?
On the 13 rear brake set up I believe I read the caliper is the same but the rotor is larger in diameter. Can anyone confirm this? Also if it is bigger would it be a easy swap? Thanks?
For most people yes it will be fine. For it to work absolutely optimal, then no.I mean companies like brembo, stoptech, AP have big brake kits out that dont require brake bias or abs changes.
So this should be no different.
Brake pressure bias is built into the calipers by using small piston area in the rear and larger piston area in the front. The rest is left up to the ABS. I have heard from Rehagen racing that there was a special race ABS unit, different speed biasing I believe, but I have never heard of anyone actually having lock up or ABS issues with alternate brake setups have you?
I'll say it... I think the 4 piston GT500 brakes are just adequate, and don't agree that the new 6 piston brakes are overkill. A mono-block, radial mount 4 piston caliper combined with a two piece rotor would really do the job. But that's big money. A 6 piston 15" setup for $1300 will do a fine job, even for the guy on a budget, and I don't think it's overkill. The brakes on the Mustang have always sucked. With the 07-12 GT500 Brembos, Ford has just started to get in the game, and the rear brakes still need work, even on the '13.
I've run Gt500 brembos, '11 GT brembos, and the FR500C race kit, all on the stock GT ABS unit and I've never experienced an issue or oddity. I feel as though I've pushed them pretty hard at Miller too.
It is not a kit it is something I built myself. A ton of work and not economically feasible for me. Baer has something like it new to the market.
