Swap to 14" rear brakes for $299.99

Half-ass way versus full-ass way.

Oh ok. I'm cool being half ass. Lol. Looks good!!! Nobody would ever know the difference.

Here's a pic.

I used a similair kit on 98 saleen, yes I know non S197. It worked fine. Done for looks only to balance out puny little rear rotors. In theory I think an argument can be made for better braking due to moving clampoing force out in a bigger Arc or something but who knows. And if I thought about it too much a corner carver expert will come in and tell me why I am wrong anyways.

LOOKS > all


Would you rather have a SMOKIN hot woman that can only run from the couch to the TV to turn the channel for you or a butt ugly woman that spends all your money on gym memberships but has a butta face?????

I guess I'd consider myself an "ignorant corner carver," because I thought that was pretty funny!

My friend sent me this. I guess you just need to file the bracket and the rotors will fit just fine. It might be worthwhile for people just doing it for looks. I might give it a whirl, but I'm not sure.

I wonder if the areas I have in question are the areas that need clearancing by 3mm?????

 

[SSPSTANGBANGER]

that bracket clearancing is similar to what we did swapping new edge GT's to Cobra brakes when using GT calipers and cages

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

Where are they "clearancing?" I can't tell from the pic. Is it the caliper itself that gets filed??

I run the Baer 14" rear upgrade kit, and it's essentially just a bolt on bracket and rotor upgrade like that eBay kit. No pulling axles or messing with fluid.

I swap on my smaller stock brakes when I run my drag tires, so pulling the axles each time would be a huge pain in the ass.

My opinion is, that eBay kit would be a good, easy upgrade for those looking for larger rear brakes, and a super easy install that could be reversed in minutes to run different sized rear wheels.

this is a worth while mod. this is one of my friends and these are billet & cut on a cnc and a very nice setup. he has many many miles on his car and some spirited driving thru the mountains and has had 0 issues and they fit under stock 18" 07-09 shelby wheels. win win. actually if you want a set I can get just the brackets to you for 175 shipped but that is not including any PP fee and you can source what ever rotors you want

 

[UltraKla$$ic]

I bought the brackets from him and got hooked up on some OEM GT500 rotors.

 

[sportinawoody]

beat me to it!

Meh. I installed the '13 Shelby stuff on my '11 GT using the complete kit from 5.0 Resto. I don't think it's a big deal to pop the diff to do a factory-type install. I don't mind using adapters when necessary, but with an OEM option available, I'd always go OEM. An army of engineers put it together and designed it to last a zillion miles. I just prefer that to the extra couple of hours it would take to do the install. I used the opportunity to put a Shelby diff cover on the car, and refilled the diff with Royal Purple. The rotors in that eBay kit are what you can get at Checker/Auto Zone for $60 each. The ones from Ford are OEM Brembo and have the centers painted so they don't rust.

Where did you find a way to buy straight from the guy who makes the bolt-on brackets for the 2013-14 GT500 rotor?

Yea, and NOBODY would know I only have a little over $200 TOTAL and 15 minutes of work into this project to get THIS:



Forget all that draining fluid and tearing into the axles!!!! That's like changing the spark plugs by going through the oil pan!!!!!!

Getting lazy! Need to take care of that rust on them rotors!
