Hal900x

So I looked at the numerous brake packages out there with the following criteria in mind: Less than $3000, at least 14" 2-piece rotors, minimum 4-piston calipers and the rotors should be slotted but not drilled. I came up with:

- Saleen 14-Inch Brake System: $1,999.99 4-piston

- Steeda 14-Inch Front Brake Kit: $2,395, 4-piston

- Stoptech Big Brake Kit: $2,095, 4-piston

- SSBC Front Force 10 8-Piston Brakes: $2,570, 8-piston, hoses not included.

The only one that advertises compatibility with stock ABS is Steeda. I assume that all of them support it, but I'm going to be checking. SSBC is the one unique animal. A bit higher-end with equivalent pricing, they just developed their "V8" 8-piston calipers,and the mustang is the first passenger car to get them in a kit, after SSBC first tried them on truck/suv applications. They are also the only ones I know for sure that apply plating to their rotors, I'm trying to find out if the others do. The SSBC kit doesn't include stainless steel lines, unlike the rest.

If I've missed any kits that fulfill all my criteria, or if you know the answer to the ABS or plating questions, please post. I'm mainly looking for recommendations from anyone who has bought or installed one of these kits.

SSBC front force is what id do but its a bit more expensive,,,, what others mods do you have that you need all the stopping power

I'm running 10 pounds of boost on an intercooled Whipple blower. There will be more power later as well.

Saleen 14-Inch Brake System: $1,999.99 4-piston<--I'll get this.

roush, saleen, steedaand stoptech 4 piston are the same exact kit. the kit is made by stoptech. shop accordingly. wilwood has a 6 piston front kit with floating rotors for 1900. the roush,steeda,saleen or stoptech kit is 1700 list price so beware of price increases. you also have the gt500/brembo kit. this kit is made by brembo but has more clearence issues then the other kits. the shelby/baer 2piston upgrade is better than stock but for the cash the gt500 kit is better if your wheels will ft it. the shelby/brembo kit uses 2piston calipers and 14in rotors. these calipers are better than stock despite being 2 piston like the stock calipers.

Well, they can't be exactly the same because the Roush kit uses 13" rotors. What are your sources for this info?

What wheels are you running?
I know the Baer Brakes 14" two piston kit will clear stock 18" wheels but what about the other kits?

Hal900x

They have stock 18's now? I'll be running 18x10 on all 4 corners, Griggs GR-40 suspension system up front. Although I could conceivably go with 20's if required.

I would take a look at the Baers.

Upgrade the lines to SS and get new pads and thses two things will help as well.
