Dark Horse Brembo front and rear brakes on M1

[JimmyNY]

As far as I understand correctly, the Dark Horse has the same rim specifications as the Mach 1 HP.

Does anyone of you know the part number of the front and rear Dark Horse brembo brakes? Would like to get them for my M1.

Is there a reason you want to add that much weight to your car? The rear suspension is very different, different rear hubs, axles, knuckles, wiring for parking brake etc.

What he said, it uses the 500 knuckle and link and electric e-brake. The 350 set up is essentially the same and bolts right on.

REAR BREMBO CALIPERS is my goal. =)

The performance of the Dark Horse brakes is impressive, so I'm ok with the extra weight.

I have custom 20" forged rims with the exact specs as the HP rims. I'm not sure if the GT350 brake kit will fit. I don't want to spend around 4k on individual rear brembos for the Mach 1. That's why I hope there's a Dark Horse brake kit available for about the same price as the GT350.

I'd get the GT350 brake kit yesterday if I knew 100% that they'll fit on the car.

Gents, thanks for your participation so far.

I don't want this thread to slip into a why do you need it discussion. I often drive mine on unlimited highways and on the racetrack. The brakes from the Mach 1 aren't bad, but I'm looking for something better.

As the DH is brand new it is most likely too soon to get the information you are looking for. Also just adding the rear brakes could create a balance issue. Lastly as mentioned before it's not just replacing rotors and calibers.

That said here is a good start. No indication that it will not fit a M1 but you can reach out to FP to be sure.

The GT350 rear brakes fit in an 18" wheel, if you install the kit it bolts on. The MACH 1 is an S550 GT as far as brakes are concerned. The only thing to be aware of is the GT350 kit on the rear pushes the wheel out 5/16" on each side.(8mm) so depending on your wheels it may effect fitment depending on how the wheel is designed. If the wheels are GT350 offsets in the rear than it's no issue.

Its a vanity thing for me. I love the look of brembos

Great info Tommy!

Probably silly to ask but can you tell by the rim design if they are going to poke out?
