Replacement Rotor Question
I would like to replace my front brake rotors, as the stock one have begun to warp. I found a pair of Brembo rotors on Tire Rack which seem like a good deal. Only thing, they are 293mm or 11.5" in diameter. Our stock rortors are 11.4". Would these replace the stock ones withour issue, or do you think I would run into issues with getting the calipers to fit back? I need to retain the stock brake size as I run snow tires on the stock 16" wheels. Thanks!

Searched the rotors by car type. The available choices were 'mustang coupe', and 'mustang gt coupe'. These popped up under the base model selection, but the rotor size is slightly larger, so thats why Im asking if they'll fit. Nobody knows eh? I found them on sale for $210 as opposed to $250; seems like a decent deal..

Yea, I would mutch rather upgrade to something that looks a little more sporty. I mean, its my daily driver so I dont NEED super extreme rotors. But these look good, and I figure brembo is a solid company who would make quality parts. Its just whether or not an extra .13xx" of rotor diameter will render them unsuable as direct stock replacements. I guess no one has any expience with these then eh. I suppose I could go with something from powerslot, but ideally, I'd grab these if they will work..

I bought Hawk Performance brake pads and PowerSlot rotors x4 - they carry stock sizes, and is quite an upgrade from generic replacements at the local auto parts store.
Rock Auto, AutoAnything and Amazon all carry these for Mustangs - many others do, as well. Compare prices, and you can save money. Some include free shipping.

Got 4 Perfomance rotors 3 months ago on ebay.
What a mistake.....
Total junk, rust everywhere, vibrate like a vibrators ;}, pads that came with them broke in shipping.
And poor stopping power compared to the original gt rotors.
Stay away from these. $200 down the drain.
