Brake upgrades for GT

[JRitt]

I'm also looking to build a serious track day car and bought the 300A GT because I knew I'd upgrade the brakes. So our options currently are:
Ford M-2300-TA 15" at $3,350
Brembo 15" 1N2.9047A1 at $4,470
AP Racing 15" at $unknown
Any others??

Anyway, I don't mind spending $$$$ to get brakes that will last a 1 hour track session running slicks, as long as i understand the difference between the lower priced 15" kits and the high dollar stuff. Also noticed that AP has a 398mm disc, but maybe overkill?

Anyway, assuming approx $4,500 budget, what would you guys go for?

We are working on an awesome kit that will be the best option available if you're seriously tracking your car. It will look very similar to this kit that we sell for Corvettes. I posted details in this thread a while back.

It will be a six piston caliper on a 372x34mm heavy duty disc. Price will be in the $3600 range. Your best bet will be to buy the best front brake system you can afford. The rears don't see nearly the beating that the fronts do on these cars. In the rear I'd go with good pads and SS brake lines. That should put you at your roughly $4500 budget.

Check out the owner reviews on our blog. We have lots of 600-700 HP Corvettes running our 355x32mm discs with great success. The discs on our Mustang kit will be even larger.
