I did the Mach kit....

I bought a new 98 GT, traded for a 98 cobra...sold it to buy a house and recently bought my 98 gt vert. After having the cobra for years the first thing I did with the new GT was scare the living daylights out of myself because I wasn't thinking GT brakes. I upgraded with the Mach kit from buyforracing. Great experience. Ordered Thursday had them tuesday. Ahhhh I can stop again! http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=594

I will probably order a set next month. Is there any grinding required to get anything to fit?? or is it all bolt on. ALso I noted on the AM page it says the bonjos bolts in the SS lines are not correct but the kit comes with the banjo bolts in a separate box. Is this the same for the mach kit?? just curious as I dont want to put in the wrong banjo bolt.

Usually the kits come with everything you need. There are really only two banjo threads that Mustang's uses, a coarse and fine. I beleive my Mach 1 calipers were coarse. It should come with them though.


The kit is straightforwards bolt on (I assume your fox already has the front SN95-style setup).

All you need is brake fluid

No, i called about the product and i can't really work in the shipping time and installation before i move to San Diego. So it looks like i'll have to order em after im settled in down there. Hopefully by then the price wont go up again

Wow, somebody raised their prices.

Either the price of steel forced Brembo to jack prices or PBR is discontuneing that caliper design since no more modern cars off the prodution line use it.
