I have an 06 base and just out of curiosity can I, and if i can, how much would I have to pay for some used track/GT Brembo brakes? I dont wana shell out 2 grand for a Brembo GT or Stoptech 4 pot kit and I figured I could get a used set of OEM brembos from someone who has put a BBK on and has their OEM's laying around. Or are the track/GT Brembo's any better than my 06' Base brakes? Havent heard about anyone doing this, was gonna give it a shot , thanks in advance

 

they go anywhere from 1500-1800 and sometimes higher.

 

one set just went for 2200+

 

well damn, id rather pay for a 6 pot stoptech kit. thanks for the info guys.

 

I'm surprised you have been here for almost 1 year and did not learn to search at all. This is a fairly common thing for people with non-brembo brakes to pursue.

You know the StopTech FRONT set will cost more then the FRONT & BACK complete OEM Brembo setup right? For 4 grand you can probly get the Stoptech, but for 2k you get both front and rear for brembos if you look hard enough.

The brembos are 10x better than stock brakes that came on the base, enth., performance, and touring. They response quicker and stops quicker as well. Your'e going from a single piston setup to four piston front and duel piston rear and using larger calipers and rotors in all four corners.

I just made the swap less than a month ago and I love it. There is no way possible you can get the stoptech front and rear for less than the brembos...not even used (I saw a used stoptech set went for 3.7k!)

 

I did search, couldnt find anything. Apparently im impaired. thanks for the info though. would lines, fluid, more aggressive pads and slotted rotors improve the overall braking on base brakes to the point that the overall stoping power would be comparable to OEM Brembos?

 

I'll pass on a bit of advice a road racer gave me. He drives a 1995 Mustang GT on tracks like VIR, Summit Point, and Road Atlanta. His advice to me was to put Hawk HP+ pads on, don't waste money on drilled/slotted rotors, put some racing brake fluid in there, and tell him if I still need a big brake kit. So, I've bought the parts, they are going on next weekend, and I'm going to Shenendoah at Summit Point during Memorial Day weekend. So, we'll see if I am still left wanting bigger brakes.

 

aye, said that should take care of fade? lemme know how it goes

 

still going to fade faster than the Brembos due to less surface area = less cooling.

 

I've only used my brakes to the point of fading a couple times on streets. I'll see what happens on a race track in a couple of weekends. Then June 1-3 I'll be at Deal's Gap again, one of the places I got my brakes to fade.

 

Yeah read this:

DAMN lol didnt know that could happen to your brakes. That was on a track with lots of high speed straights comin into slow speed corners. I just need some more bite and less fade for my "track" but I never get over 80 on the gap so I dont get going fast enough to melt pads to the pistons lol.

 

I know the 2006 OE brakes for base/entu/touring got larger than the previous years, but I don't know if the Brembos got larger for 2006? Can anyone confirm? Also, if you upgrade to Brembos are bigger rotors required?

 

I upgraded my 05 Enth. to OEM Brembos. The rotors are larger than OEM for 05 and slightly larger than 06. Make sure when you get the Brembos, get the OEM hardware that came with it.

 

06 oem brakes are larger in rotor size and they are 2 pistons.
