Dear Ford Service

[craigstu]

We are in the 3rd month of my wife's daily driver 15GT Prem w/ PP. We traded in her 2010 GT and love this car w/ two exceptions. 1-the 373 rear gear. (our mistake, we should have skipped the PP package) and 2-the way over assisted brakes. I started a thread on the 373 and the consensus is the gears can be changed but that will mess up all the electronics. I have seen several comments about the brakes from others but no fix. Is there a MC w/ 1/16 to 1/8 inch larger bore available possibly from another Ford model. I am fine w/ paying expenses, buying parts as needed.
Thank you for any help you can provide,
CraigS

Dude... U got the PP - 13 inch rotors w/ 6 piston brembo's... Of course it's going to stop on a dime

U should have gotten a non-perf pack car

USaf I am NOT talking about it's stopping on a dime. I am talking about the ridiculously low pedal effort needed for it to do that.

Right? I don't even know what else to say... You bought a car with bigger brakes than a 13'-14' GT500 and you're complaining about them working as intended.

Also why are you making a post to ford service when they have their own account for you to message? Seems like you are just asking for these types of responses.

 

[craigstu]

I didn't know there was a specific 'account' for ford service. Can you elaborate on that please.

craigstu, I have the solution. I will trade my non pp GT for your PP, you'll love it

Uh, it's an account called ford service that's manned (or womanned) by a ford service Rep.

lol I didn't think it would honestly require explanation

Correction the 15 mustang brakes with 6 piston calipers and 15 inch rotors are the exact same size as the 13/14 gt-500 not bigger. How do i know? i put the 13/14 gt-500 brakes on my 12 gt. the original poster is right. In the 15' s they are over boosted. Mine are not touchy at all and they stop very well. Its one of the best upgrades I've done to my car. I dont have a clue why Ford would make them so touchy....unfortunatley there is not much you can do about it!

 

[craigstu]

Thanks Blackbeast. It's nice to see there is someone who understands the difference between stopping distance/stopping power and pedal effort.

 

[SID297]

It's just the nature of the beast.

So.....what are you expecting to happen here?

 

[craigstu]

Ideally I'd like to find an MC that could be installed that has 1/16 to 1/8 larger bore diameter. Or a way to reduce the assist. Apparently I didn't approach this correctly. Since the majority of the replies are just sarcastic comments, I no longer expect to get anything helpful.
