Ford M-2300-T Brembo Upgrade

I just installed the M-2300-T Brembo big brake kit. I will say these brakes are obviously a huge difference from the stock GT brakes. When I upgraded my wheels to the Rohana RC7 20X9 front, 20X10 rear, I really noticed the stock GT brakes were struggling a bit to slow the Stang down. I thought about just upgrading the pads and going to a slotted rotor, but the stock 13" front disc looks small behind a 20" wheel. So I decided to go with the M-2300-T upgrade. A little note with this kit, I was lucky my front Rohona RC7 wheel barely cleared the 6 piston front Brembo caliper. I probably only have approximately 5-8 mm of clearance between the caliper and spoke. Other than that, I'm completely pleased with this upgrade

Sweet! Looks great, and the 6-pots must be able to stop a train! Did these include the 13.8" upgraded rears?

Yes, this kit comes with the Shelby single piston caliper with a 13.8" rear disc. These brakes definitely bite down hard (which is to be expected with a 6 piston caliper and 15" front rotor). For the money, I dont think you can get a better price + performance.

I've had them for a few months and like everyone else really like them. However I've got to find some new pads the ones that come with the kit produce horrible amounts of brake dust.

That's good to know. Let me know what brake pad you go with. Luckily, I have graphite colored wheels so the brake dust doesn't show up as much
