Default Looking to replace Rotors

Any recommendations on brand?

I'm just replacing the front and rear rotors and brake pads.

power slot rotors, hawk pads or performance friction pads and if you want to up grade calipers get linclon mk7 calipers there a direct bolt in, bigger caliper and its a cheap upgrade plus there 4 lug

Why can't I find rear rotors for a 91 GT? Do they not have them?

yeah, the foxes, minus the SVO and the '93 cobra only had rear drums...

you can use a turbo coupe rear if you want rear drums, but thats alot of work etc etc...

but as mentioned, powerslot rotors are good, I have them and they are better than stock rotors

i just recently installed some powerslots and hawk hps. dont have anything bad to say about them. after reasearching the difference between drilled and slotted, I found that slotted seemed to be the best, drilled are more of a look type of thing, but they do help dissapate heat realy well if you into autocross or something.

drilled also risk crackin more due to the holes comprimising some integrity of the metal. but I amy be wrong

If your mustang has rotors in the back and you didn't install them, good luck finding out what pads will fit.

Default Rotors from Down Under

Hi,
We are new here and while being from Australia we cant really advise you on what to get we are pretty stoked about our latest purchase for our '97 Mustang 5.0 powered Fairmont Ghia... a very nice set off 330mm front rotors as part of a full brake overhaul. Rumour has it that the front rotors are of Mustang origin (the offset is a little different to stock)

Posted photo but it was waaayyy too big. Will work on that. See Avatar
