Default Custom front brakes installed!!!

after experiencing severe brakes fading at the racing circuit ( https://mustangforums.com/m_2044628/tm.htm ) and anihilating my stock brakes, I decided to take mods further and invest about 1720 $ into KABRT (local brake specialist) custom made semi-racing front brakes and semi-racing custom rear pads.

I just rode it and I must say Im amazed with response. I cant wait til I put it into really heavy testing.

stock brakes:


custom made:

Yeah I was gonna say, those have to be bigger than stock, looks like theyre about to rub! They look nice, no drills or slots to help disperse heat though? That has to help with road racing in some way, or are these supposed to be better since theyre specially designed for road racing or something?

ive heard many times that drilled rotors are mostly marketing hype...

anyway they together with pads start to work really good after they are heated a bit. And yes those are specially designed for heavy duty breaking and conditions (capable of 12 hours on a circuit and pads should sustaing 60 K kilometers under normal driving)

Almost identical kit from the same guy (just little extra size) got my friend into his Ferrari Maranello (yes their stock sucks too!) and hes very happy about it.
