Rear Brakes Q?

[scrappydoo1888]

Hi guys!

I just bought the Brembo 4-Piston front calipers from RPM427sc. I'm going to purchase new 14" rotors for the front and back so it looks equivalent. This is all going on my 2005 Mustang GT convertible.

My question is for the back rotors/calipers....do I only need to purchase the rear caliper adapters to make the bigger 14" rotors work? I think these are Part # dr3v-2c101-ca and dr3v-2c100-ca?

Other than for looks in the back the actual pad would be the 2005 Mustang GT stock size? So no extra stopping power just bigger rotors correct?

Thanks,

Steve

You could order the 13/14 GT500 rear brake caliper bracket . You have to pull the axles to install. Kinda a pain. You could instead buy the brackets off eBay that don't require pulling the axles. That's what I did. Picked up a pair of very low miles 13.7" rotors and rocked on.

Yes, the pads are the same. You get a larger rotor surface do you get better cooling. I noticed a big difference when I went to the 4 piston Brembos up front. The rear not at all. Looks good though!

Link for the brackets that don't require pulling the axle?

Bought a few sets of these for multiple cars going through the shop. They are very nice and work well

Thanks for the info. This seems like the better route for me. I just ordered a set of those adapters.

Thanks!

I've got a set of the brackets and as others have noted, they are very nice.

Every time I go to buy a set of those brackets, they're sold out.

Oops! I think I bought the last set this time.

Message the seller, that's what I did and he put a set on auction for me.
