[QUOTE="TT91, post: 5917673, member: 41073"] Hey guys, by now Im sure most of you have seen this thread- [url]http://www.corral.net/forums/showthread.php?t=897686[/url] Well I have recieved lots of inquiry about the price and availablitily about the bracket and if and when they will be available. I am please to finally announce that the first steps in manufacturing has begun and I would like to get a good feel for how many sets to make in my first batch. The original bracket looked like this- [img]http://www.turbomike.net/mike_marine/Bracket.JPG[/img] The bracket will now be a single piece made via CNC. [IMG]http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/4040/11044/212867.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://www.mustangmods.com/ims/u/4040/11044/212868.jpg[/IMG] The bracket kit will come with stainless brake lines to adapt to you 1996-2004 mustang. This is a picture of the brake lines on my car, but the ones supplied with the kit probably wont have the blue rubber covering. [IMG]http://www.turbomike.net/mike_marine/Brakeline.JPG[/IMG] I ended up paying $100 each from ford for brand new rotors. You may or may not know someone to save you some cash, or locate them somewhere else for less. [IMG]http://www.turbomike.net/mike_marine/Rotor.JPG[/IMG] However the only downside, or upside if you already have them, it the need to now use 18" wheels. [IMG]http://www.turbomike.net/mike_marine/Bling.JPG[/IMG] The cost of the kit, which will include the bracket, mounting hardware, and two stainless brake lines, will be no more than $250. Calipers can be found on ebay all day long, or from your local ford dealer for about $2000 less then it would cost you from Brembo to buy their kit. If using a 14" Grand Turismo Brembo kit, price would be around $3200 from just about any mustang retailer. With my kit you can save a total of.... Calipers-$1100 From Ford(I have bought two pairs off ebay so far, spent 800 total). Bracket kit-$250 Rotors- $200 Total- [B]$1550[/B] for a 14" Brembo Brake upgrade!! This kit uitilizes one of the stock brake mouting holes on your current spindle. The lower ear of the spindle needs to be removed in order to make clearance for the larger caliper. Once the ear has been removed, you install the rotor, bracket and caliper on the spindle and use the new lower brake bracket hole as a guide for the properly sized drill bit. This will render you spindle useless if you need to switch back to stock brakes. Luckily, spindles are a dime a dozen for our cars. Please PM me, or for the sake of everyone else, if you have a question, post it here and lets get the first order unway! [/QUOTE]
