Stan remade my 1 3/4 headers because the flange ports were smaller than my AFR 205 ports.

Are the 1 5/8 a good port match to your heads? I have FPA 1 3/4 and they fit well with my AFR 205's.

I have a Magnaflow true x system from the header collectors to the rear valance. I have no drone at all. They are a flow through design with packing. They have gotten a little louder over time .

Thanks Fvike! As you all know it takes allot of special effort to make a 45 yr old car clean. It has been hovering around 100 degree in Portland so I haven't driven it much. I think I need to bleed them again before I go out. The rotor seasoning procedure is quite extensive. 5-6 days of normal driving than a session of medium effort from 60 to 15 mph than a hard braking session. Than an extensive pad bedding procedure. Even without hardly any break in they are very nice. I'll be back with a report after the break in.

I used royal purple in my 418w for many years. I didn't like the color or the price so I switched to Mobile 1 0W 40. Its great oil and I can buy it everywhere at a good price.

Buckeye, Pro+ 6P are: disk thk; 1.15", three pistons: 1.625", 1.375", 1.1875" SS4 are: disk thk; .810", pistons 1.375" Alan

Not one problem encountered during installation. The parking brake is really nice, it even came with the correct length cable. Baer makes an awesome product.

Repossessed 69 SCJ Mach1, Red on Red, shaker, four speed, Detroit locker, PDB's. Sold it before I left for college, no place to store it. I could kick myself right now.

Love it! Please post a VIDEO!

I hear what you say about ABS, wish I had it on my mustang. I have manual brakes and am looking forward to getting these big disks on. If they aren't better than my 11" disks, i'll just throw them away!

I guess Ford doesn't agree since the new GT's have; 352 (13.9 in.) x 32mm vented discs, four-piston 46mm fixed aluminum calipers; Performance Package: 380 (15.0 in.) x 34mm vented discs, Brembo s ix piston 36-mm fixed aluminum calipers

I agree there are many factors that affect stopping distance. Two big factors are the diameter of the rotor, and the friction coefficient of the pad compound. As the radius increases from the centerline of the spindle shaft to the pad, the stopping resistance increases. Alan

Black with the logo red deleted. My car is only white and black so I didn't want the red. I cant wait to get the kits.

The 6P front caliper uses a C6 pad design so the pistons would probably be the same as the C6. The rear's uses a 2001 camaro pad design.... When I get mine in less than 2 weeks, I'll measure the pistons and disk thickness's and let you know. Alan

I have drum spindles.

RPM thanks for the feedback. I placed my order for the following. Front 13" Pro+ 6 piston http://baer.com/13-Front-Pro-Plus-Brake-System-4261216X.html Rear 13" SS4 4 piston (shown with 12" solid rotors but I substituted a two piece 13" rotor with Al hat to match the front and increase stopping power). http://baer.com/12-Rear-SS4-Brake-System-with-Park-Brake-4262243.html Both calipers are black with black logo Should be awesome!

I just ordered 13" front and rear Baer brakes, so my current setup will become available. They are SSBC disks, P/N A133-3, A111-2. Fronts fit 1970 mustang drum brake spindles. Rears fit small bearing standard flange. Fronts are 11" four piston aluminium fixed calipers with braided hoses and slotted zinc plated disks. Rears are aluminium sliding calipers with slotted zinc plated disks, like an early 90's thunderbird style. EBC red brake pads with very little wear. Rotors are straight and never been turned. ~12yr old brakes with low mileage, never been in the rain, no corrosion anywhere. Original parts list and instructions. Will fit 14" magnum 500's. I can send pictures, price TBD. Alan

Has anyone looked at the 2015 Mustang 5.0 brakes? 4 piston 13.9 or optional 6 piston 15.0 rotors in the front. rear single piston 13.0 rotor. Wow,

My two best options with Baer Option 1 Front Track4 4 piston with 13" solid rotors Rear SS4 4 piston with 12" solid rotors or Option 2 Front Pro+ 6 piston with 13" Al hat rotor Rear SS4 4 piston with 13" al Hat rotor Best bang for the buck is option 1. 70%, 30% rear use condition, the 12 in rear rotor will leave a little stopping distance on the table compared to option 2. Option 2 looks a better from a wow factor, and will perform slightly better. But for $1000 more? I am a conservative spender but I may go for option 2 since this is likely my only performance car forever. What to do? Alan

Thanks for the feedback. My understanding is the larger the rotor the shorter the stopping distance with all things being equal. I hear the 6 piston calipers are better in extreme track conditions showing less fade and more even pad wear. I looked at the wilwoods and with a drum brake spindle their largest rotor is 12.19 diameter. The matching rear are 2.5 - 2.6" offset. Prices are much better.

I updated the link. Scroll down and there is more information, but not the rotor thickness or piston size. They T4 uses a 1998-2002 Camaro pad design (#D0749) The SS4 uses c5/c6 pad designs.

I am about to pull the trigger on these. I really like the drum style parking brake. I hear Baer makes a high quality product. Front T4 with 13" one piece rotor, black. Summit $1695 shipped https://baer.com/13-Front-Track4-Brake-System.html Rear SS4 with 13" rotors with aluminum hat. Baer confirmed SS4 can be setup with 13" rotors. Baer $1495 + $100 shipping http://baer.com/12-Rear-SS4-Brake-System-with-Park-Brake-4262243.html Baer said these will perform equal to the 6 piston versions unless you are running them under extreme race conditions. I am looking for a notable improvement in stopping distance my 11" disks. The rotor hats are not visible with my wheel vintques 17" magnum 500 rims. Anybody use them? Thoughts. Alan

Are your motor mounts stock height? Does your hood close? I have a 351w with and an RPM manifold. My stock shaker sits higher but the hood closes fine.
