M-2300-MR Kit?

[CobaltFilly]

Anyone know where I can buy the M-2300-MR Rear 2015-2017 Brake GT kit? I am having trouble finding a seller whose page works on this item for some reason…

why not just piece together the bits you need from FordParts and RockAuto?

Don't you already have it on your car though ? It's been a long time but I though rear calipers were all the same on 15-17 cars.

I believe those were larger vaned GT rotors and calipers.
Base V6 model has single pot inverted hats.

GT always had single piston rear caliper. 99% sure it's the same brake you already have. Look up Levittown or Tasca website - shows rear caliper being same for everything (paste and copy from their website) : EcoBoost, EcoBoost Premium, GT, GT 50 Years Limited Edition, GT Premium, V6

V6 and Base Ecoboost get one rear set of brakes.

Ecoboost PP and GT get a larger set.

Make sure you follow the steps in the shop manual for the e-brake when replacing the rear calipers. You will need to loosen the cable a lot before removing the old ones. It took me way more than 5 pulls on Step 3 here, and it was more like 2mm>1.5mm>1mm for me to get the feel of the handle and the application of the e-brake perfect.

Also make sure you get new crush washers. Might want to get new banjo bolts too, it can be annoying to get the old crush washers off.

Must have not remember correctly - apologies @CobaltFilly - however the GT caliper is still single piston one. Not sure it's worth the effort / money. Looking at amount of still original brake pads left there on my car - I think not.

Roger, I am very much learning about brake systems so any knowledge is great! Thanks.

I thought the difference was solid rotor vs vented. Pretty sure diameter is same. The gt bracket might be a little different to give more overhang to straddle the rotor?
