Anyone put brembos on the rear brakes? Is it just a bracket?

No it's much more complicated. Can't put a fixed caliper on a fixed rotor.

It requires a system to float the brembo caliper.

It's not worth it anyways. Every mustang race car uses the stock rear brakes. They're more than enough.

Since when?
You don't float a brembo caliper. It is a fixed design. It has pistons on either side. The rear is a sliding set up. Both front and rear rotors are fixed.
Some motorcycles use fixed calipers and floating rotors.

Front is not fixed. it floats between the two sides of the caliper.

Look at anyone who has done brembo or two sided pistons on a mustang. it requires the whole caliper to be able to slide back and forth over the fixed rear rotor.

doing rear's is a waste of money, unless your doing if for show. front does most of the braking.

Lewis26,

The front Brembo Caliper is a fixed design working in conjunction with a non floating rotor. This is fact.
You need to do a little research on this.
As far as I know, no one makes a rear Brembo kit. It too would be a fixed caliper kit because fixed caliper designs have oposing (key word) pairs of pistons to grip the rotor.
There is no need for them to float!
