Caliper Recommendations

[ClassicStangFan]

I want to install new red calipers on all four corners of my 2018 Ford Mustang GT Premium, but would like to avoid paying the high price tag for brands such as Brembo and Willwood. I have seen new, high performance calipers by Autopart Premium on the PartsGeek website that are reasonably priced that I would paint personally myself with high temperature caliper paint and clear coat. Wondering if anyone has installed these calipers, or others that they have had good performance with and would highly recommend? Of course, the statement that "you get what you pay for" usual applies and calipers by Brembo or Willwood most likely will be the best option. As always, thanks for your time and provided information.

Rock Auto sells reman PP calipers, in Red. Or get the black/charcoal colored ones and save some money. BRCF432 BRCF433. They sell the rears in red too.

Base GT calipers are cheap as dirt, not sure why you would go with a random no-name aftermarket part when OEM ones are easy to get. Get a pair to paint yourself and swap with no downtime.

Steeda sells a Bullitt Brembo kit with steel braided lines front and rear, Brembo front and the 15” rotors for the front for $1875, then a van of G2 red caliper paint will do the rears for like $60. Steeda sells the Bullitt rear calipers as well for like $600 but that defeats the price point I think…

Why aren't you just painting the brakes on the car?

Less work to paint on brand new calipers than on 5+ year old parts, prep work significantly less.

OP, since you've done research, may I ask a related question? Does Wilwood make rear calipers that will bolt straight onto the OEM GT hubs?
