Is this a pretty good kit as is? I know this kit has nice braided SS lines instead of the rubber ones the factory Brembo cars have. My 13' GT currently has between 8k-9k miles on it. I'm considering purchasing new rear rotors and thought about using some ceramic brake pads instead of the ones included with the kit to help keep the brake dust to a minimum.

can't wait to hear you thoughts once you do the install

My '14 GT has the FRPP M-2300-S brake kit. Nice upgrade without any issues. I had my stock rear rotors resurfaced and used the kit rear pads. With daily driver/street use and having a charcoal wheel finish, brake dust has not been a concern.

If this kit has the same pads as the Boss & GT Track Pack Brembo cars...which are HORRIBLE for dust...don't even bother installing the pads that come with the kit. Something like the StopTech street performance pads or Hawk HPS pads provide equivalent or better performance, with substantially less dust.

I am not hard on brakes. I never have been. I gear down and engine brake and only use the binders to actually stop rolling. I can fully detail my car top to bottom so the rims pass the white glove test. If I drive around the block (which in my neighborhood requires two stop signs, and touch my rims, my fingers come off black. My car has 4000 kms on it. When it rolls out of storage in spring, there will be StopTech pads on it. No question.

EDIT: If you're considering a rear upgrade to go with the front Brembo's, take a look at Steeda's 13" upgrade kit. Essentially you can use whatever pads you want, this just gives you adaptor lines, 13" rotors, and adaptor brackets for the calipers.

That's a pretty sweet rear kit, but for now I'm gonna stick with the stock rears. I'm still think of using different pads. I did receive my kit and the RF caliper received some cosmetic damage during shipping that I'm trying to iron out. The price was outstanding regardless, even if I had to buy another caliper.

Mind me asking where you picked it up and how much it was?

Bubbasuwannee

seller: Mustangmods on Ebay. $780, but missing the dust shields which I picked up for $50.

Post some pics when you get it all together, but definitely, DEFINITELY put some strong consideration into new pads. For the price of a set of StopTech streets, it'll save you a TON of cleaning time on those rims.

silverstate777

The pads that came in my M-2300-S kit are: CR3Z-2200-A (rear) and 7R3Z-2001-A (front). According to the Ford racing tech dept. those part numbers are the 2007-12 Shelby/GT500 pads. Can any of the 2013-14 track pack owners post up their OE pad part numbers to compare?

Bubbasuwannee

Do you have a part number for the stop tech pads? I'm looking at some at rockauto. They're pretty reasonably priced.

Bubbasuwannee

I would think they'd be the same part numbers, but I'm not sure. Could possibly look them up online on one of the Ford part stores to see if they're the same.

lakeguy77

Fronts are 309.10010, rears are 309.10820

Bubbasuwannee

Thanks! Are those Stop tech pads pretty good?

Bubbasuwannee

I went ahead and picked those up from Rock auto for $97 shipped.

lakeguy77

Haven't put them on my Mustang, but they're going on in spring when I have everything apart for suspension. I've had them on two other cars and loved them. One of those cars had Hawk HPS before the StopTech's, and I found the ST's quieter and dust even less, though I did like the HPS. I understand Hawk has reworked their compounds as well. All the same, I love the StopTech pads and will stick with em.

Bubbasuwannee

I'd love to grab a set of those stop tech slotted rotors, but I'll just run the stock solid rotors.

Bubbasuwannee

I received my stoptech pads today. The new calipers came with the pads already installed and I noticed a metal shim between each pad and piston. The new pads did not come with these, so I assume that I'll have to re-use them on the new pads? One observation is that the stoptech pads have less contact area to the rotor surface than the Ford(Brembo) pads do.

I purchased this exact kit, new, for my 2011 GT, for $1180, two years ago. Ford Racing SVT Brembo brake kit. Front 14" rotors, front Brembo 4-piston calipers with SVT pads, rear SVT pads, Goodridge steel lines. I needed to, I track my car a few times per year - stock brake set-up was not stout enough. I think you will find that it performs great. Don't forget to upgrade to DOT4 fluid. But...a lot of dust. Here's my TMS post & pics:

Is there a How-To for flushing and replacement of the fluid? I know you bleed the outer and then the inner for the front calipers and passenger side rear the driver's side rear. How much fluid do you need to do that is more the question.

OP post pictures when you get them on.

lowblustang00

It's easier if you have a buddy in the seat to pump while you actuate the bleeder.

As for the amount? Till you see fresh fluid without bubbles. Make sure you don't let the reservoir get to low in the process or you will start pumping air into the line.
