Okay that's what's I thought. I just thought the whole kit was the same (calipers, pads, rotors), guess I was wrong

 

To my knowledge they do all use the same complete package on both the front and rears.

 

Just to be clear: what is shown as a "brembo gt" kit or part on zeckhausen's site is for an aftermarket brembo "gran turismo" kit, not a brembo mustang gt.

Use the links for the shelby gt500 on there if you want stuff in the right fitment.

 

I'm with ya now Drew. Trying to do this on my phone it wasn't easy to dig into their site to see what you meant.

 

Okay I was on my phone as well, wasn't able to see the difference. Thanks for clearing up my confusion there

 

I have also heard great things about CL pads from the race shop that co-exists with the shop the works on my other car . They also make a RC5+ compound which can be used on the street or with street tires on the track. I don't know if it is available in our size though. There catalog doesn't list any Mustang applications.

Just so you know, I'm using pads I bought for my Evo X on the Boss. And they were the same on my STI. I suspect that every OEM car that come equipped with Brembo, and cost under 100 000$, use the same front caliper.

 

Thanks Drew. I clicked on Mustang GT so not sure why it linked to the wrong caliper. I used Zeckhausen when I had Stop Techs on my 350Z. Good company to deal with.

 

Except Porsches and probably a few others. They use a mono block radial mount caliper.

I used Zeckhausen to get my rebuild pieces for my Brembo GT500 and Porsche calipers.

 

The calipers take the same pads as the Brembo f40 caliper. Performance friction part number 7780.XX.18.44 for the fronts. XX=what compound you want so 01 for the 01s, 06 for the 06. I went with the 06s because they are supposed to be easier on rotors. I will let you guys know how they hold up and perform. Do some googling, performance friction probably makes the best pads for track use period but they are pricey at around $300 a set at most places.

 

Has anyone gone to a 2 piece front other than DBA?

I've been looking at these http://www.fulltiltboogieracing.com/s197_brakes.htm

 

lol, if ever a post needed cliffs...

 

I haven't tried their rotors, but I do have their piston compressing tool and it works great

 

Just ordered the piston compressing tool .Thanks!

 

You bet buddy. You get a delivery date on that 13 yet?

 

I ordered one on Gary's tip a few months ago. It works very well.

 

I keep one around as well. Curious as to the rotors however.

One opinion I got on them was that they are a fixed two piece, and could 'cone' or distort as the rotor expands. I don't think it would be too much of an issue however.

 

DBA is also coming out with a new "T-slot" rotor series. That's why they were closing out the 5000s. I'll be looking for a new 2-piece so am interested in experiences with these as well as the new DBAs.

 

They are coming out with a floating version sometime early spring. I've known and tracked with the owner for quite a few years. Good guy and will answer any questions or concerns you may have.

 

Bruce is definitely the man. I'm running his full delrin kit in my IRS.

I've been looking at his rotors, but am not sure what is best. I am running a 14" Brembo setup on my 03 that uses the same pads/calipers as the GT500 and Boss.
