autotr8er2 Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 I'm stating this out of unbelief, skepticism, whatever. So, for the price of a bracket, we could simply upgrade to late model mustang calipers? Brembo, anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RF600 Posted August 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 (edited) With all the help i gave you on wheels josh we need to have a talk about this brake setup haha! Looks good I'm trying to get this stuff done so I can hopefully go to Mesquite this year. The way things are going I won't have the money.

TopDawg_43 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 I have been corrected. Those are not 06 calipers. They are 04 Mustang calipers, that I used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Komeuppance Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Awesome. How is the pedal feel?? I'm guessing stock master cylinder...?? -Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TopDawg_43 Posted August 23, 2011 Report Share Posted August 23, 2011 Awesome. How is the pedal feel?? I'm guessing stock master cylinder...?? -Robert I can't remember any change in peddle feel. Then again, I did this swap 5 years ago. For now, the pedal does not set off any alarms. Yes, stock master cylinder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF600 Posted August 28, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2011 Well using the 05-10 calipers is not gonna work for me. With the caliper bracket mounted and the rotor seated it hits the inside of the bracket. It hits enough that the rotor won't move. So I am not sure how long it will take to work it out. Possibly a different rotor with a shorter hat? That would bring the rotor away from the bracket enough to mount up properly. I would have to measure for the right height of the hat, but it would be around 1/8" to 1/4" shorter. The 99-04 calipers like TopDawg is using has twin 45mm pistons. The 05-10 calipers have twin 41.5mm pistons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RF600 Posted August 29, 2011 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2011 I took some measurements. For the 05-10 caliper to mount the hat on the rotor needs to be ~6mm shorter. That should put the rotor in the middle of the bracket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
25gconquest Posted September 6, 2011 Report Share Posted September 6, 2011 The hat was from Willwood I dont remember the part number because I did these back it 1998, I had to make an hub centric ring so the hat would be centered, the rear hat I had them custom made to fit. I am pulling the car down now I will see if there is a part number on the fron hat. DL1700764 other # is ll0764. I also had to make custom brake lines .hope this help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C300 Posted September 22, 2011 Report Share Posted September 22, 2011 some general info, if you go from a one pot(piston) caliper to a four pot(piston) caliper like the wilwood, the 4 pistons have more volume in some instances. this will cause more petal travel. if so, using a bigger diameter piston master cylinder will move more fluid with less travel of the petal. mostly a "feel" thing on power brakes.

Yes correct, but we don't have any bolt in larger diameter master upgrades Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AustinTSI Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 (edited) So can someone confirm that what we need for this to work is the following:1. use standard 99-04 Mustang and NOT GT2. 99-04 Mustang calipers ( front & rear ? )3. 99-04 Mustang brackets ( front & rear ? )4. custom brake lines5. does something need to be done to the brackets ?6. stock starion rotors ?
