Ok....so here's the deal. There is a change of plans. After talking more extensively with Revolution I decided that the superlite forged caliper would not give me the look I am after. It's just too small.
Keep in mind....I'm fully aware that caliper (front and rear) would give me waaaay more power than I would ever need. It's just more of an asthetic thing for me. Around here I just go to the grocer and see 5 150k plus cars with calipers the size of a hockey stick and I drool. I'm keeping this stang for the rest of my life so that's what I'm looking for.
I'm in talks right now with them and ssbc to use try to adapt their Force 10 V8 caliper to my car. SSBC :: A113-16 It's a gigantic caliper that looks like it wraps half way around the disc.
Needless to say there is not a ready made kit for our cars. What we're looking at is taking a kit for a c5 vette and moding it. The most important thing is the offset of the rotor. The c5 has the same offset as our cars. All that will need be done is a re drill on the hat ( the vette has a 5x4.75, ours are 5x4.5) and custom fab a bracket to mount it. I will probably have the guys at revolution brake llc do the work.
For the rear I'm not sure yet. If we decide in the next few days they think this something that we can do we will move forward, make sure it works on the front and then deal with the rear. Which I have no idea what I will do. I'm still thinking a wilwood 14in superlite in the rear but we'll see. maybe maybe I'll do the big ssbc caliper in the rear as well.
Keep you guys posted

, I think yellow was the right choice.
Those things are going to be killer. I bet the only thing behind the wheel will be rotor and caliper.
