I've got a track pack car, and I'm curious what sort of big brake kits are out there for the rear of our cars. I know I could pick up the parts for the GT500 rears, but does anyone else make a kit that matches with the factory brembos very well? For that matter, do any of the major companies make rear brake kits for these cars, it seems like all I ever see on most sites is front brake kits.

These are the two front runners (both use oem calipers)

Exactly what I'm looking for, thank you!
There's a listing on eBay for adapters for $129 I think it is.
These?

I like that they are aluminum and don't require u to take off the axles. I was actually thinking about machining some brackets myself but needed a set to mock off of, this make things easier.
Yup that is the one. I asked earlier if anyone knew of any tricks to use other vehicle calipers but didnt' get any response. Back in the day I used 2003 Cobra brakes on my Lincoln Mark VIII, and I also remember something (or rather can't remember) about using Cadillac CTSV rear brembo's. When I used the Cobra brakes I used a very similar bracket to that ebay one on my rears. Allowed the use of the bigger rotors with the factory caliper.
I believe it's a floating vs fixed issue, not big vs small caliper issue.
It would be nice to actually get a decent looking rear caliper instead of the ugly stock one. As far as i know, wilwood is the only company that makes rear brake kits for SRA mustangs however, the issue with them is that they are race calipers and do not have dust boots which MAY cause an issue to some users.
it's worth thousands of dollars to some people to have big calipers in the rear that aren't doing much of anything?
Well you could always put a set of those big fake caliper covers if you were only concerned about aesthetic matching. I saw a set the other day on a Cherokee.......I'm not a fan, especially not for what they cost

I was in the same boat, I don't get why guys buy these kits to use bigger rotors but still use them ugly ass calipers!!!! I know that the rear brakes are not that important as far as function goes but i also wanted the look to be balanced too. I went with willwoods front and rear. The rears are for sale because I cannot fit a 15" tire for the track.

For the rear go with the adapters sold by ncmustangparts on this site. Just got mine.
I used the ones from ncmustang parts and got the larger rotors from summit for $99 shipped. I don't think they're available.
