[Shotimes] front brake options for Sr 72 ?

[Bruce Malachuk]

Oh yeah and I'm making up a lightweight 11.75 in rotor for my car. Have the
wilwood rotors already, just waiting on the machine shop to make me the AL
hats. Can't beat $30 wilwood curved vane rotors.

There has been some recent talk of the bremo kit on the shoforum.  This kit
requires 50mm of clearance between the face of the rotor and the back of the
wheel spokes though.  That is a huge amount of space and just about
impossible to get on a wheel that will still fit insde the SHO fenders.

Someone actually bought the kit and the caliper did bolt directly onto the
spindle, just didnjt have enough clearance on the wheel.

The kit Don M is tlking about may be a good alternative, but it still uses
the heavy 96 rotor.  The TCE wilwood kit is still probably they best kit to
get, the Baer kit is good too, but unless you get it used at a good price
like I did, the TCE kit is actually more affordable i the end.

PS. Ford Racing? Sells the brembo kit from the Mustang Cobra-R to fit other
SN95 Mustangs. I've often theorized that this will fit our 94-95 spindles if
the rotors are redrilled for 5x108. Lately I've seen/heard of people running
this setup on T-birds so I'm pretty confident that it will work on the SHO.

However at $1100 you get a 1 piece rotor and a wimpy 4 piston brembo. I
think that Todd Cook's Wilwood setup with a 1.1" rotor is a better way to go
for a similar price.

If you really want to step up, Brembo's Gran Turismo kit for the Mustang
should also fit but that's close to $5G and requires 17's minumum.
