Question Brakes

I got a 94 V6 thats going from a transplant right now to have a 408 or something big like that. I planed on running 15 inch rims for street radials, i think prostars or w/e they are called. I can't find any brake upgrade from stock that will allow the clearance for 15 inch rims, all are for 17's which i preferably don't wanna run. Thanks for any help

I'm not sure if you can find a brake upgrade from that'll allow clearance for 15s, you can reconsider 17s or possibly drop the brake upgrade? Good luck

you can run 99+ pbr stuff, which is far better than the stock sn stuff

alright i might give that a try. I was looking up seats today and found a website called aerospace components. I haven't recieved an email back from them yet to confirm 15 inch rim fitment but they have a 1994-2000 Mustang pro street break kit. It uses 4 piston aluminum calipers, mounting brakets, billit aluminum brake hats with multi bolt patterns, brake pads, 11 3/4 diameter .81 thick cast vaned rotors grade 8 hardwear, starting at around $710. If this is a street kit as it says and allows me to run 15's then i'll probably go with them.

thankfully i haven't bought anything yet but I'm planning on going with a FAB 9 rear end and the brakes that adapt to that are about the same price. I just have to save a little here and there i guess. Go big or go home is my motto
