Drilled rotors for 2011+ mustangs?

i have seen a few drilled rotor sets out there, here is one from R1 concepts the problem is they don't say what size they are so i don't know if they will work on a brembo car, most likely they are stock upgrades?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/PREMIUM-SERI...ht_4075wt_1219

also i see some say 2010-2011 , but isn't the suspension, especially rotors and calipers are the same from 2005-present?


then i also saw the BAER front calipers for the 14" brembos, it would be a straight fit for the front, but the downside they are very pricy for only a pair

I'm having a hard time finding rear BAERs tho, i found these also at summit, but they don't seem to come with the brackets for the stock calipers to be moved

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/BAE-2262019/

then i found these BAERs for the rear, and they do come with brackets to install the stock calipers with these rotors, but then again it says 2005-2011, but i don't think there is any difference in 2011 and 2013 rear calipers and rotors what so ever.

whats your guys take on this. anyone seen a full set available for the 2011-2013 mustangs around or do you have to pair them together?

2005-2009 Mustangs had 12.8" Front Brake Rotors
2010-2013 Mustangs have 13.2" Front Brake Rotors

I believe the brake calipers are the same on GT's across the 2005-2013 model years, at least in the pad design area.

As for cross-drilled rotors, I don't consider them an upgrade.

To the packaging of Front and Rear kits, they are usually sold separately on the Mustang. Baer, Wilwood, and others all sell Front and Rear kits to your liking, with anything from 2 to 6 pistons per caliper.

Drilled look good but actually are not an upgrade at all IMO. They have less surface area for cooling and will crack easier if pushed hard on the track.

Actually, on the front, 05-10 GT has 12.4" rotors, 11-13 GT has 13.2", 05-10 V6 has 11.5", 11-13 V6 has 12.4", 07-13 Brembo cars have 14" rotors except '13 GT500.

All 05-13 cars have 11.8" rear rotors except '13 GT500.


The Baer rotor kits are very good and will be a big upgrade to the rear brakes. And the reason they are so expensive is that they are a race grade rotor with aluminum hats and iron rotor rings.

The problem with most generic drilled rotors is that they were not designed to be drilled, they are stock replacements that have been drilled and often get drilled through the cooling vane ribs and that severely weakens the rotor and they will crack or worse.

The Baer rotors were designed from the get-go to be drilled and are super strong and have better designed cooling vanes to improve air flow through them.

Proper drilled rotors are much better for performance. Cool much faster so there is less brake fade, which means very consistent braking in varying temps and conditions. Yes its less surface area but the aftermarket rotors are usually much bugger than stockers so its a bit of a balanced out uograde. Bigger brake rotor, slightly less sruface area due to holes, increased cooling which brings consistent performance. Udgrade in my opinion
