Hey all. I’m completely stock currently, and looking for front and rear upgrades. Application will be for Time Trials, though I run Autocross and Trackcross too, so some compromise may be in order, but safety and reliability are paramount.
The speed shop I’m talking to recommends the following:
1) Ford Racing 2015-2016 Mustang Performance Pack 6-Piston Front Brake Upgrade Kit (Part M-2300-V).
2) Power Stop 2015-2019 Rear Autospecialty Brake Kit (part KOE6812).
3) Power Stop 15-17 Ford Mustang Front and Rear SS Braided Hose Kit (part BH00116)
4) OEM Ford brake booster line for 2018-2021 Mustang GT and 2019-2020 Ford Mustang Bullitt (part JR3Z-2420-C).
5) RBF 660 DOT brake fluid - 500 ML/.5 ML - boiling point 617°F - wet-boiling point 400°F (part 101667)
I wanted to save some money with the rears, as they don’t carry much of the load, but I don’t want to rely on the shop’s word alone. The brakes will have to perform and hold up for 15-20 minutes at a time of moderate-to-hard use. Not quite the level of abuse some of you guys apply, but way more heat to deal with than autocross or a track sprints. The shop claims these Power Stops will be a significant upgrade, if I don’t want to spend for the rear Brembos. They said the 6-piston Brembos up front are the way to go.
Any knowledge on all the above would be appreciated. Will this do the job well?
And I wonder what pads I should choose, front and rear?
And whether the front Brembo rotors should be swapped out too?
Switching out pads for time trials would be acceptable.
I want to get this right obviously. Thanks!
