[QUOTE="Double0fox, post: 16404324, member: 51290"] I was going into last winter when I started to think about going to a full on race brake system. I knew the Boss calipers would suit me fine to get this car out on track for some fun, but I want to mitigate a few things if possible. One is brakes. I want to never have to worry about brakes. Two is keeping oil, and coolant temps in check as much as possible. I have talked to a few guys racing the S197 Coyote, and a few of them wheel to wheel with the S550 PP brake calipers, with good pads/rotors of course, and have seen great life/performance with them. So I ended up finding a good deal on them, and away I went. So I ordered S550 Calipers, 2014 Gt500 Discs (correct offset for the calipers), Goodridge stainless lines (Back & Front). At the same time I also added a adapter bracket to run GT500 rear discs. As for the second of my concerns with the cooling I will get that updated soon, as I am in the process of that now.
