[QUOTE="Thump_rrr, post: 14298096, member: 36572"] I had a set of Wilwood rear brakes on my 2005 Mustang GT up until last week. I ran it with the 2012 GT500 SVTPP wheels for the street and a set of 15" Bogart R/T's for the drag strip. I was also running the BMR swaybar relocation brackets to make room for the Bogarts. The setup is a nice upgrade from stock in both looks and performance. I have a couple of comments on this setup. 1) the rear rotors are a 1 piece design with a deep offset so no matter what wheels you run there are no worries about clearing wheels. 2) you must also purchase their stainless hoses and their rear parking brake cable kit. 3) the factory parking brake bracket in the transmission tunnel must be modified to install this kit. Some minor cutting of the factory bracket must be done so that the wilwood bracket can be installed. 4) the parking brake is now an internal drum brake. 5) the forged dynalite calipers do not have as nice a finish as the billet super lite calipers. When I purchased this kit back in 2007 it was the only option out there and I was satisfied with the kit. Now there is another kit model 140-9221 which has the nicer Superlite calipers and 2 piece rotors but it will not fit on a car running a 15" rear wheel setup. Last week I installed a Currie 9" rear end in the car and the kit is no longer compatible due to the Big Ford flanges. I will be looking at other options which may fit in the near future. [/QUOTE]
