New Bullitt Brembos Arrived.

[Houston Kid]

I went with the Powerstop rotors and Z26 pads? I think that was the pads? I know the rotors and pads are powerstop.
I plan on going to a two piece setup once I feel like dropping the $$.

This week I bought the Steeda CIA and tune/tuner.

Same exact setup I did, Houston Kid. Goal is to finally get them ON THE CAR this weekend...it's only been a year since I bought the stuff...

Nice. I run a Steeda intake. I'm trying to keep my warranty for a bit longer, so I run the adapter to keep the stock tune. I can't wait to finally get an aftermarket tune with a new intake manifold and headers.

Could be. But it's also used on the manual 4 piston GT's and Ecoboost PP models, just not the auto 4 piston cars.

Maybe has something to do with the extra connection it has for the hydraulic clutch.

I suggest you replace the four crush washers when you make the swap. Cheap insurance and easy to find. 34 ft/lbs torque on banjo bolts.

Thank you! I'm really liking them so far. Had them on literally just a week now, along with the Conti ECS tires. Went from the stock 20 x 9 Foundry wheels/Goodyear F1's to a square set of Apex 19x10s with the Contis. Better ride overall and way better in the rain than the stockers. Unfortunately, since I put them on it has rained every freaking day, giving me only one half a day to detail the car and snap a few pics...and then it poured and kept pouring.

I'm looking for a better ride quality and I think my 20" Foundry rims will never give the ride quality of a 19". Did you find the ride smoother? I'm looking at upgrading to PP wheels and brakes.

Is it the same caliper as the performance pack brembos?

Replacing the crush washers is really a requirement any time you even loosen a caliper banjo bolt. For that batter, replace the washers when you loosen most any banjo bolt.

I had factory 20" wheels and switched them out for 19" R350 wheels from LMR. I like the ride quality a lot, they're much lighter than both the 20" foundry wheels and 19" PP wheels. They're also cheap, only about $800 or so depending on which style wheel you go with. The offset of the LMR wheels look much better on the car and bring the wheels flush with the fenders.

Yep, same exact caliper but painted red.

The ride quality is significantly better with the 19" wheels/tires. I gained about 1/2" of sidewall with the 285/35-19s vs. the stock 265/35-20s. I don't know if it's just the extra sidewall making the difference or it's also the tire compound itself, but the stock 20" Goodyear F1's feel like the tires are made of stone vs a much softer feel of the Conti's. The 20" wheel/tire combo to me felt like it had no compliance or "give." The Conti's feel like they absorb/cushion imperfections in the road a little bit, while the Goodyears simply whumped over everything...no "give" at all.

I couldn't be happier with my decision to move to 19's.

Does anyone have the ford part number for the rear calipers, the numbers on here are the front ones. Thanks

They might be KR3Z-2552-A and KR3Z-2553-A, but I don't know for sure. I decided to just paint my rear calipers so I only bought the front Brembos.

thanks
