brakes

larger brakes on a 95 vert, i recently saw a set of mach 1 wheels i want to get and put on my 95, how hard is it to up size the brakes? i don't want to jump to 17 in wheels and start going through brakes every 5000 miles?

Honestly, I don't think you need to waste your money upgrading the brakes. The ones on there should be adequite for 17" wheels. I ran them on my fox w/o any problems.

I had 17" rims on my old 95 with no brake problems.

coworker has 17s on his 95 5.0 coupe and has stock brakes, but uses track grade pads and rotors for AutoX, and he drives it everyday, drives and brakes smooth....no pulsation....granted he drives like my pa or shall i say juan in his ol' red heavy mustang with a slushbox.........hahahaha

mine is a 6'er, do you think that will be an issue?

nope

do you guys think it would be smart for me to get a set of takeoff GT front brakes and get a set of GT slotted rotors when i do my brakes?

Would that make my wheels fit differently or would i have to have someone grind those down as well?

For what?

When i get my tax money im gonna get drilled and slotted or maybe just slotted rotors and i can get the gt front calipers for 150 off new takeoff

why, what's wrong w/ the brakes on there now?

Im saying just in case i change my wheels again i dont wanna run into any more fitment issues. I think they are different than the v6.

what problem did you have?

The wheels rubbed my calipers on the front the backs where perfect. i just looked up that the gt has a 12.4" front rotor where the V6 has an 11.5" rotor i dont know if that changes the caliper or not.

Yes, the caliper will be larger to fit the bigger rotor.

Ok. Thanks Bernie, i think i'll just stick with what i have now.
