Brembo Brakes upgrade

[AZ_Ryan]

My Brembos are standard. Not blue or red. I'd get blue if I could.

So technically all GTs have Brembos. The standard are 4 piston up front, and one piston rear.

What we're talking about here are the upgraded 6 piston Bremos up front and 2 piston rears. Those are colored in either Grabber Blue, Red, or Black. They are an option on base GTs and standard on PP cars.

With Ford you get a choice of Blue or Red. I have a PP Magnaride, so it has performance Brembos. As for the color it could be black. Since I've only had it since Saturday I did bother looking. But I'll check.

What’s your opinion on the kit do you thinks it worth and what’s the best route on going about the rears?

I can't imagine those red calipers are a custom color. I'm sure you could buy red caliper paint to match pretty easily.

Red or blue are available on any GT with Brembos. Black are only available for the GT PP. That's what I have. What color comes on regular GTs I have no idea. I've never looked.

Yeah, that's what I said

Well, it depends on your goals with the car. If this is more of a looks thing for a daily driver, I'd say it's definitely not worth it. But if you are planing to track the car or you are not happy with the existing brake performance I'd say do it. Just understand it ain't cheap.

Ultimately, I chose not to get them because of the expense to have the kit installed at a shop. All together it would cost about 4k for the kit and install, and you aren't even getting upgraded rears with that. I just can't justify that on a car I never plan to track.

As for the rears, I was quoted 5k to buy all the parts from Ford separately and installed. Obviously that is completely ridiculous.

Well if you find the punks who stole my DH you could get the entire set but in blue . Now I have a GT Premium PP Magnaride and love it. Handles like a charm.

One of the things that sold me on mine was the Brembo's front and rear. I love powerful brakes even though I don't do track days. Yet.

You don't need the performance pack to get the 6 piston Brembo's. Plus not everyone chose to special order a car with those specs.

Oh sorry I didn't know that. I bought an EB and I thought that I could only have them with the PP

For the Ecoboost, yes only available with the HPP... and only 24 MY... Standalone Brembo option only available on the GT.(25 MY)

Brembos on the GT base are not a stand alone. You'll have to waste another, nearly 2,000, on a Nite Pony package. Brembos are a stand alone on the GT Premium. It's because it's rims fit over the Brembos. As for the EB I'm not sure Brembos are stand alone. Try the Mustang Builder.

That is correct for the Ecoboost. For the GT Premium the Brembos were optional outside of the PP trim on '24 and '25 cars.

So I just checked my brakes on my GT Premium and they are silver with Mustang in large black letters and Brembo in small letters. I saw the same setup on another GT Premium so I guess this is standard for the Premium. Glenn

That is correct. Those are the standard Brembos that come on the GTs. We are discussing the upgraded Brembos that were a separate option on the GT Premiums and standard on the PP cars. Those are larger and have colored calipers (not silver) and say Brembo not Mustang on them.
