Recently I removed a year old BBK from an Audi since I am selling the Audi. This kit was a Porsche Monoblock 4 piston caliper on 320 cm 2 peice cross drilled rotors. The Monoblock 4 piston calipers (Big Reds) are mamoth as are the rotors and they were originally installed on the Porsche 933 Twin Turbo's. They definetly will haul a 4500 lb car down fast from speed and will fit under a 17 inch wheel If I decided to go that way. They are very nice peices
I know that some mamoth bright red calipers would look awesome on a Premium Black on Black on Red interior GT Convertible but when one gets up close and sees Porsche engraved on these things in white would that detract from the car?
I know that Brembo, Stillen, and others are making BBK's for foreign and American cars alike so how would these german mega clampers look on a Mustang with huge 2 peice rotors? see ECStuning. Your thoughts would be appreciated

The first issue would be getting the correct brackets to bolt them to the spindle. The next obstacle is that OE Mustang wheel won't clear that type of caliper. I am waiting for a set of take off GT-500 wheels and tires to arrive. I then plan on upgrading to the Brembo 4 piston calipers and two piece rotors. I suspect that your calipers are the same as what I want to buy, I just don't don't know who would sell the brackets separately. Good luck on your mission.

I'm sure that I would have to have something machined custom as far as the brackets go....I just hate to sell that kind of stopping power with the car without trying to get this done. They are super on the relatively large and quick 200 20v TQ....they would be awesome on a tight Mustang chassis. I want to take advantage of the parts if I can. Those rotors and callipers are huge.

The advantage of buying the kit for the car is that you can get a template you can use to check for adequate clearance. You might research various sites, IE Brembo, baer etc to get specs on the rotor dimensions(offset of the hat). What is the bolt circle of your rotors, will they fit the hub on the Mustang?? If you are ambitious you may tear these down and try swapping parts from car to car to get an idea of what challenges may lie ahead. While anything can be done this might be tough or it could be a snap.

The bolt circle and pattern measure 5x112. I am not sure what the new Mustang bolt pattern and circle are but the rotors are two peice and have a billett hat that can be replaced for the customers needs. I am hoping that ECS tuning can give me the right hats for the Mustang.
BTW----What is the bolt pattern and circle for the new mustang?
The minimum wheel size is a 17" wheel to clear the rotor and claiper max diameter but I need to do some research on wht offset or et I will need. I would imagine Saleen would have someting to fit...that is depoending upon the bolt patten and circle Thank you for the advice in advance
