I just ordered all of the parts at one of our Ford dealerships and it all came out to less than U$ 400.00...

Hmmm. Even stock front rotors+calipers+brake lines+F/R pads are more than $400.

Me too... or I can pay $100 S&H!

I work for the parent company so my pricing is dealer cost... All the parts have come in minus one of the front brake lines... If it come in I will install this weekend and post some pics... Need to pick up some good brake fluid this week for the install...

Must be nice!!

Can one get all four or are just the fronts avail? I know the production car have only the fronts while one that was in a mag a year or so ago had all four Brembos... not even Brembo offer rears for us as far as I know and last time I looked....??

And, please, post those pix when done!

im guessing there is a way to adapt the front brembo kit to the back?whats the difference between the front and back stockers?ive never paid it much attention.

so you going to hook us up with the same price ala group buy!

Here's a racer's secret I once read in Grassroots Motorsports: Ford Heavy Duty brake fluid.

The rear brake would need the required hardware for the parking brake...

I went by the dealership today as we got in 3 Shelbys and measured the brakes and required clearence, there is no way any 17 inch wheels are going to fit with these brakes and only some 18 and 19 and 20 inch wheels as the calipers stick way out... Even my Wedssport racing wheels are going to be close...

Still waiting for one more caliper evrything else arrived...

Did you ever get them and install, just recieved the left caliper as it was back ordered, will install this weekend with stainless steel lines that I got from Steeda...

These brakes need some wheels with alot of clearance...

Yes I did and they work very well with no adverse effects w/the ABS. I even applied the brakes to induce lock up and the ABS worked just fine. It took a quick panic type application of the brakes to activate the ABS and it functioned just once.
