New Parts:
GT500 Brembo's (4 piston caliper with 14" discs)
Goodridge stainless braided lines all around
ATE SuperBlue brake fluid
Strano HD adjustable sway bar endlinks
Steeda billet sway mounts (installed last year, not worth it's own post)
Parts that were already on the car:
F&R:
BMR swaybars
Tokico D-Spec adjustable shocks/struts
FRPP K-springs

BMR LCA's
BMR LCA relocating brackets
BMR Adjustable UCA
Steeda Adjustable panhard bar
Steeda panhard bar brace
Other:
CHE K-member brace with Torque limiters.
After:
Some part comparisons:
:Grammy awards:
I'd like to thank Bernie, without his upgrading to the Baer's on his GT500 the Brembo's would not be possible.
Sam Strano, for the lines & fluid, plus the tech questions on his adjustable links
And yes, the car is filthy.. stupid pollen, wash it and its filthy again within 12 hours
Some overall shots.. because, well, I can?

They modulate a little different, seem smoother but still getting used to them only have 50 miles or so on them. I haven't done a few high speed heavy brakings in a short time period yet to really tell the difference. The GT brakes really were not bad, but when I started thinking about upgrading them I figured might as well go Brembo. I had been looking for a while, but waiting for a local set to see in person & avoid the heavy shipping cost. Luckily one of my Mustang club members upgraded his GT500 to a Baer set that he had from a previous car, so WIN for me!
As far as fitting in the wheels, oh definitely, that was one of the reasons I upgraded, it was almost every comment I got on the car. "Car looks awesome, love the wheels, but those brakes look tiny back there".

Finally got my Agent47 mirrors from the bodyshop (dropped off in November with a "no rush", will want them for the Spring). I had just the "cup" painted, the mount/stalk are black. Little nerve wracking yanking the glass piece off, and probably how I messed up one of the motors but I took that all apart and got it working too.
Yes the car is dirty and the pics stink, just finished.. was going to wash it but weather report not looking favorable.
Hooray no more F350 mirrors!
and the old for compare, although it was more the front angle that makes them huge
direct compare
