What size rubber are you running on your SVE's?

Thanks. I'm looking at the Drift's but not sure if I want to stick with the 275/35/19's that come with the kit from LMR or go with 285/35/19's.

That was indeed what they had to say!

I guess my memory is still good....at least for important things.

The 4 or 6 piston brembos paired with 3" cooling ducts, high temp fluid like Motul RBF600 or Castrol SRF plus a set of track pads like Carbotech XP20 or Pagid RS29 will last all day and provide incredible stopping power. That setup will suffice until you run full slicks and have significant power mods and are driving with the advanced groups. My brembos are still doing the trick for me.

I second this. I have no cooling (putting on GT500 shields for this season), I use XP10s with RBF600 fluid and I run in intermediate groups with no fade issues. The factory 4-piston Brembos are actually really good brakes.

I can only imagine how good the 6-piston setup is!

I agree as well. The Hawk HP+ pads and ATE Super Blue with stock everything else held up awesome after 16 laps at Hockenheimring. No fade at all.

Im doing 285/35's for sure next set of tires! These Brembos need wide rubber up front to stop hard! Ive found the 275's in the front to be very good. Big front brakes are worthless without wide front tires, they add to the grip! Thanks for the post!

Key word here are better ( cooling and fluid ). I can tell you that these brakes are serious and bite hard. You have to have them to know this I guess, but the people that talk down on these brakes are fools because I can tell you that they are bad ***** f@#$ers! Thanks for the post!

Astenax

I agree! The 4 pots do fit a smaller lighter wheel and do have there benefits but the 6 pots will bite harder and allow a faster entry to the turn no? So weight vs later braking, lol take your pick lol!

I had Hawk HPS pads on my stock base GT Mustang brakes and they stopped my Stang 10 times better than the stock pads. I hated the squeal from the Hawks though and these Brembos are quiet and would clobber the stopping power of my base brakes+HPS pads in a second lol! For $1500 these 6 pistons they are worth the upgrade, but if you don't have the coin and can stand the squeal sound of the HPS they do work! I have a set of front HPS for the stockies that have less than 500 miles on them that I will sell for $50 if any body wants to pick them up in Cali! Im keeping the rears but hit me up! I can only imagine the HPS pads on my 6 piston clamps lol ****! but I cant stand the squeal lol!

Thanks for all the comments guys! I work a 70 hour work week and some times it takes me a long time to reply! I love my Mustang!

Won't necessarily bite harder overall - I could lock up my wheels with mine, no problem, for a bunch of laps at least. But the 6-pistons might require less pedal pressure to do so, and also utilize the larger rotor, so more surface area for heat dissipation.

So I guess I sort of agree - you could probably brake a bit deeper more easily for longer sessions without fade.

Anyways, awesome setup. I am very stuck to 18" wheels though due to tire availability/choice and cost. Lots of take-off slicks for very good prices with the 18's, but I've heard there are a couple 18" wheels that the 6-pistons fit under... might be on the list for down the road...

What brake lines did you use oem gt500 or aftermarket?
