Thanks, butThanks, great info on brake upgrade. I wanted to put my front calipers on my rear since I was able to find some used Saleen front calipers and rotors to put on the front. My Saleen S281 was a low option and came with the stock GT fronts and rears. Been thinking about what to do with the rears to fill the 20 inch wheels.
Im running oem s197 one and everything works greatFord did use a larger master with the 6 piston brakes on S550's. I did on a thread on it a while back here.

That won’t work. Front and rear calipers aren’t interchangeable that way. You’d also have no parking brake. You can however get rear brackets for the rear calipers from LMR to extend the calipers out and use larger rotors. That would fill in the gap in your wheel barrel. I was thinking about doing this myself however I already had new rear rotors to go on and the price for larger rear rotors was too much $$$ for my blood. Also I don’t track the car so the extra heat dissipation wasn’t worth it for a street car.

Steel lines fix that issueDepends on your preference. I thought the stock brakes felt mushy and had too much travel, front Brembos make it worse. They work great, ONCE you get enough pedal travel in them.
Can someone confirm that 17" factory Ford Bullitt/Funnel spoke style wheels will fit 2013-2014 GT500 13.8" rear disc brake upgrade (regardless of where it's the simple extension bracket or more complex caliper mounting flange upgrade)?
Per LMR: Vehicle Fitment
- Ford Mustang - 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2013, 2014
Before anyone flips out... YES I have searched this forum and nothing popped up.
- When running the 13.8" GT500 rear rotors, you will need to run 17" or larger rear wheels.
Baer makes Eradispeed line and Stop tech also, you can check them out on AM, both around 1000 for a pair. Any single piece, 2 piece 13 - 2014 gt 500 rotors will fit this setupBueller, Bueller...
No input?
Please post the pics, i had no issue with mine just 2 pins that hold a pad is all i had, wear clips were on the bads already with metal backings, if you are reffering to the the top piece that locks the pins on top of caliper, it has to be under pressure to keep the pins locked in placeClip goes in great without pads. With pads, cross piece deflects considerably against the pad ears. Seating the pins may help, but will not eliminate the deflection.
