On order waiting for shipping confirmation. Red calipers - pads - adapters - so do you feel the increase in rear grip keeping the car flat and balanced

A rear brake swap with the e-parking brake from a GT500 would be interesting on a 350...
Would that even be possible?

Challenges - sounded like a great idea and I went with the Racing Brake set up - they will be here today but I just read they require 20” swaps - so with exposed Carbon Fiber wheels on the R - that caliper change with cost closer to $20,000 - it’s silly because RB knew what it was going on and no one said a thing the whole time they were making the order and swiping the card - I have two sets of CF R wheels so to swap complete to 20” CF X 2 sets - a disastrous amount of cash

Stock GT350 and GT350R 19" rear rims fit fine with the RB rear calipers. Who said anything about a 20" swap? Makes no sense to me, unless it was someone with a regular Mustang GT. Regular GT rims don't have as much barrel clearance as the FP rims. The picture of my car at the track at the end of August in my post earlier in this thread (https://www.mustang6g.com/forums/threads/gt500-brake-swapping-the-r.133213/post-3660546) is with OEM GT350 (aluminum) 19x11 ET62 rear rims mounted without spacers or any other adjustments.

Racing Brake updated their website - it was an error - we will install this afternoon and post a happy picture - bet that typo scared away lots of business as the way it read was not compatible with 19” wheels as 20” required-

they fixed the site

Installed - they fit thanks for the confidence - they didn’t send the banjo bolts so had to spend hours running around looking for one and then the second one - it’s a 10x1 met vs sae like fomoco - bedded and can’t wait to see how they power down from the 1/2 next weekend in Texas -
