Default Brakes

Does anyone know if the OEM brakes off of a 2010 Mustang GT are a direct bolt on for a 1995 Mustang GT? Thanks.

Simple way to find out. Go to autozone.com, look up brakes for a 2010, write down the part number(s), then look up brakes for a 1995, and match the part numbers. I highly doubt they are the same, infact I'm almost positive, but the research is on you.

you could use orielly's, the have a cross reference under "this will also fit" chances are they're larger and you'll either adapters to run the larger rotor or to upgrade spindles

Thanks guys. I know that they are not the same; the reason why I ask is because I have a 2010 that I upgraded to brembos up front. My brother has a 1995 that I thought might be capable of being upgraded to my "hand-me-downs".

See, even in adulthood he gets my old stuff.

Why not just check to see if they fit when you remove them from your car? Bring his over and take a wheel off. pretty simple.

Test fitting them is probably the only/best way to know. They may they may not. If they do consider yourself a trailblazer.

I'm gonna go ahead and say that they won't fit, but i could be wrong.

I'm basing it off of some pics I looked at on google of the two different brake setups. For one the newer brakes are bigger, so if nothing else make sure his rims clear the caliper. Next the caliper sits higher on the rotor on the 95 than on 2010, so I'm guessing that the 2010 caliper is going to be nowhere near close to bolting up to your spindle properly. If you really want to make it happen you'll have to make some kind of adapter bracket to mount the caliper correctly, but that seems like it would be a pretty tough fab to do right.
