Upgraded the rear brakes with the 13" baer rotors I got from Steeda, what do you think? Fills in the wheels much better than the stock brakes. Balances out the front and rear.
Ehhh looks good as far as size is concerned.... but like mentioned above, you have a stock caliper on the slotted rotor out back and an aftermarket caliper on a flat rotor up front.
I probably would have spent some cash to get the good rotors for the front to enhance the aftermarket calipers. Most of the cars braking is in the front, but it does look good.
The front's are from buyfordracing.com and they don't offer slotted. When I bought them they were only $350 so I figured I'd get them like they are and later I'll get some sloted ones for the front. The rears came from Steeda and they only sell the sloted. I agree they should all be slotted, but it'll do for now.
I'm just not thrilled about the center section of the rotor being angled like that. It looks odd. I also heard you can special request a plain-faced rotor from Baer. Supposedly it fixes the "click" problem a lot of people expeirence with that kit.
How's the e-brake? Does it hold? I've been hesitant to do the 13.25" rears myself since i heard it tends to screw with the e-brake. I need a STRONG e-brake since i park on a steep hill.
Also, i don't want to have to buy a 17" cobra spare or keep a full size 17" wheel in my trunk if i get a flat.
The rear is still the stock GT caliper, The front is the Bullit caliper, same as the Mach I and Cobra. Thought about getting the rear caliper but everything I read said they were the same as stock, so I just painted them red. I did this mainly to fill in the rear wheels, I knew I wouldn't gain much braking from them, just hated how small the stock rotors looked in the 18" wheel. I know, seems like kind of a waste of money for little gain but it was only $300, I don't think it was going to brake me. And I'm much happier with the way it looks. The fronts definitely made a difference in braking power.
But the Gt caliper and Mach/Cobra caliper is the same caliper, so you pretty much have all Mach/cobra brakes with a larger (although not vented) rotor in the rear
