Brembos for the Lightning in new catalog
Just received a new Performance products catalog for Fords & they are listing brembo front brake kits for 99 Lightning-$3695 & 2000-01-$3795. 14" drilled & vented motorsport rotors, giant F50 sized calipers w/pagid pads, brackets, lines, etc.According to the catalog, no modifications necessary.
Anyone buy them yet, wonder if we still have to grind them down?

the profit on this is astronomical...unjustified IMHO...

The main cost in the mustang kit is the calipers - they use the Cobra discs (Ford part?), throw in some pads, and there aren't any adapters/brackets.
The Lightning kit includes the Ferrari F50 calipers, 14" rotors, the Pagid pads are $400 alone, then Brembo buys the stock hub/rotor assembly, cuts off the rotor, throws it away and builds the hub, plus misc. brackets, rotor hat, blah, blah, blah. Doesn't sound cheap.
But no disagreement here... $3100 (the street price) is exorbitant - I just get my thrills tail-gating Vettes & Vipers while road-racing.
