Front AP Kit Boss 302


Rear AP Kit Boss 302


These new Radi-CAL road calipers get there heritage from the racing Radi-CAL high performance calipers launched in motorsports in 2007, which have been dominating the likes of F1, F3, NASCAR and countless others. This new caliper design features a 2-piece aluminum body with H-structure, and a non-symmetrical design developed to have a large reduction in mass yet improved resistance to braking torque. Another benefit is increased caliper cooling surface without decreasing structural rigidity.

Cool. I'm curious to see how the rear calipers mount

I saw that the rear kit was more expensive than the front, I asked about it and this was the reply I got:

We have developed a full rear parking brake assembly for that setup, which includes extra costs…

Everything looks good Nick!

Who makes pads for them? I like the 36mm thicknes and the 14.56" diameter front rotors. How much for replacement rings? I know lots of questions but this would be a huge investment.

Right now Ferodo is the only one who makes the pads, it is a brand new pad shape. We would have to go to Carbotech and do the same thing you did to get an exact replica of the GT500 13+ pad shape.

Looking into replacement rings now.

That would be a nice size that should fit 18" wheels. That extra mass should work well at dissipating heat. I was looking at a new Porsche 991 Turbo S last weekend and the front rotors were 410x36mm, Yikes!

Wont the rear AP calipers exhibit pad knock on the track? I thought that was the reason nobody wanted to produce a caliper for straight axle mustangs, except Baer brakes who offer a full-floater conversion for the rear.

I do not know the reasons why no one else produces a kit for the rear on the Mustangs.

Apologies, I was asking if pad knock would be an issue or not at the track.

Pad knock is always a possibility when at the track.

I don't think that the straight axle has any reason to make it worse.

Here is a link that StopTech uses and it explains it pretty well.
