Install: 2014 Shelby GT 500 15" front brakes
Hi All
I like the way my 2014 can slow down and stop with it's massive big brake system. Especially on the track from 135 to 40mph, late braking. The Six Piston Brembos that the 13/14 Gt 500 come with are massive and do most of the work. Since I became used to my 500's "big brakes" I purchased a set of six piston brembos "take offs' from ebay (harder to find now) to try and put on my PJ. I have an assortment of 15" rotors already. So, remove the Saleen 4 piston/14" Stoptech St-40 caliper and bracket and #%@&! YEA! They fit with the original PJ wheels. NOW...... the clearance from the caliper outer "shoulders" are at .030" from the rim barrel and it's inner balance weight are not even close. The spokes are way clear. 080" is advised on the Ford racing Big brake upgrade. The pad retaining pin is around 1/2" clear. That would have been a problem had the pin not cleared. So, I'll belt sand (with love) a tiny bit off the top of the caliper, and heat paint the caliper. I may leave Brembo logo or have my wife cut a vinyl mask on her cutter and spray a yellow Saleen on the caliper as the original. Might put the 14" big conversion brakes on the rears. Lets see how this does first. For pads, even AutoZone carries these pads now, and cheap with life time replacement if not damaged metal plate. American muscle has the entire big brake conversion kit for $1950, shipped. I was going to get that, but I was not sure about clearance to wheel and I have many rotors here. My investment, $700.00 with pads/hoses and very very clean calipers. I wonder if the 2016 GT 350 Front brakes would fit????? Hummmmm.... Steve . |
