Brembo’s

I have a 13 stage III Roush with 4 piston Brembos... can anyone tell me what it takes to upgrade to 6 piston Fronts....?
Are there any options for the rear ?
Thank you in advance

AM has the FP Brembo 6 piston upgrade kit, which includes rears.

Curious are you tracking your car that you need the upgrade? I have StopTech 4 piston fronts and I'm very happy with them, but I need to upgrade my rears, as I do track my car and have melted my rear piston seals a couple times now so I'm currently looking at rear upgrades....

I do not regularly but the couple times I have they fade terribly...also have a scat pack challenger and srt8 300 (I know they are heavier)both 6 piston fronts and noticeably better...
I’ve seen the kit you posted just thought there was a quick direct bolt on...gt 500 brakes or 6 piston track pack brakes...

But after reading some of your other posts I may try frozen rotors...what’s your recommendation on pads...
Thanks for your help it’s appreciated

I'm not so familiar with the Brembo stuff, I highly recommend contacting Dave Zeckhausen at Zeckhausen Racing, very smart brake guy US Stoptech distributor and also carries Brembo stuff, he'll be able to tell you what you need.... If you call leave a message and he'll call you back soon, he hates spam callers so usually never answers immediately... small world, I'm actually calling him tomorrow on my rears.

I'm currently using Ferodo Racing DS2500 street/track pads on all 4 corners and I'm pretty happy with them. Dave Zeckhausen actually recommended those to me a couple years ago so ask him about those as well. They have much less squeal and dust than the Hawks I was previously using and also seem to be much easier on the rotors.
Dave Z is very smart at determining what brakes you need by how your car will be driven and what tires you may be using. Remember it is possible to have too much brake for your tires and vise verse...
The frozen rotors I can't say enough good about, get em… becoming highly used in all forms of SCCA racing....
Vorshlag also has Brembo stuff... https://vorshlag-store.com/collections/s197-mustang-brakes

My brembs had bad brake fad for awhile, then I changed brake fluid to a DOT 5.1 and fixed the issue

Well maybe that’s my answer..I’ll try it..thank you

I use Motul RBF 600. Also do you have Stainless Braided brake lines? They will make a huge difference in pedal firmness as well. If you don't have those, try them before upgrading the calipers.

This. Front + rear braided SS brake lines work superb. RBF-600 /660 is excellent. I use ATE-200 myself. Anything is better than oem. Front brake ducts work superb. I have the CDC lower front chin spoiler on my 2010...along with the mating 2.5" orange/high temp, silicone brake duct hoses. Their kit now uses 3" hoses. The boss lower chin spoiler uses orange 3" hoses. No more brake stink with oem sized rotors + oem 2 piston calipers + hawk HPS street pads..for my street car. Air is free, so why not use it. Stick your head / hand out the window at 50-100 mph..that's a lotta free air. Those silicone brake hoses are corrugated and re-enforced on the outside..and smooth bore on the inside. The rotors are in a dead air space in the wheel well...they don't get any air as is...with a dust shield on the inboard side..and the wheel on the outboard side.

What pads were you running that faded badly?

There are at least three or four good to excellent DOT4 fluids that are commonly available. I've run ATE200 but eventually moved up to Motul RBF600. RBF660 is rated to higher temperature, but I think it requires more frequent replacement. Both of those RBF fluids have higher temperature capabilities than nearly all of the DOT5.1 fluids.

Castrol SRF seems to be the gold standard among brake fluids (and is priced accordingly).
