Reply to "Putting Front Rotors on the Rear"

lf-tp2511Member

I have installed mustang rotors on all four corners of 2511. The Mustang rotor is actually a little larger than the front OEM rotor but that was not a problem on my car. The Mustang rotor is smaller than the rear OEM rotor and on my installation resulted in the brake pads actually overhanging the rotor edge. This results in part of the brake pad not contacting the rotor and thus some reduction of braking force.

In time it also means there will be a little ledge at the outside of the brake pads, and I have dealt with this by occasional removal of the pads to sand them flat.

2511 does not use the stock brakes but was fitted by Dennis Quella with Wilwood super light II calipers using his adapter mounts.

Perhaps the SACC kit does not create this rear overlap problem. You might ask Scott for specific feedback on his conversion brackets.
