AirStrike Donating Members 387 Member For: 16y 5m 18d Gender: Male Posted 18/11/12 05:46 AM Share Posted 18/11/12 05:46 AM Been looking at upgrading the brakes on my FG for a little while and was thinking if anything fitted to the Ford's in the US is suitable at all? Before anyone mentions brembo's I have no interest in them since I want to keep the standard wheels on the car.Has anyone looking into what is fitte to the Mustangs at all? From looking at pictures the 03/04 Cobra Stang's look like they have a similar setup to the BA premium setup.

Custom brackets? Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82899-brake-upgrade-anything-from-the-us/#findComment-1326841 Share on other sites More sharing options...

The calipers are cheap but will soon run you factory brembo coin once you get brackets designed and machined 1 Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/82899-brake-upgrade-anything-from-the-us/#findComment-1326882 Share on other sites More sharing options...
AirStrike Donating Members 387 Member For: 16y 5m 18d Gender: Male Posted 18/11/12 09:57 AM Author Share Posted 18/11/12 09:57 AM Yeah did some research, seems only a small percentage of the range have seals.Spending dollars isn't the issue (to a degree), I just want something better then stock that will fit under the factory 18's.
