patrickshelby Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 SHELBY 15" Rotor upgrade ? Is it going to happen? 2013 Rotor size from SA (be it from Baer or Wilwood) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Haney Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 Are you trying to say you want this to happen? I wouldn't be surprised if a two piece rotor/hat assembly isn't already available though Brembo, along with a matching rear rotor to fit the stock rear caliper.

Tikigrill Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 If anyone has any info on rotors that are like those in the pic please post. That's the only upgrade I'm interested in. ps Got my car yesterday. It was totally worth the wait. Love this thing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svt13 Posted September 22, 2012 Report Share Posted September 22, 2012 I saw this and I thought you found a 15 rotor upgrade and I got all excited. Put this in the parts for development section. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patrickshelby Posted September 23, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 These are top-notch Im told... I'm probably ordering them myself. http://www.girodisc....500_p_6316.html Yes they are nice! But they are 14" for the front. The question was: Will SA (or an other company) offer a 15" for the 2013 owners or the ones switching to the six pistons calipers from the 2013?

Mr. Haney Posted September 23, 2012 Report Share Posted September 23, 2012 The stock 2013 Brembo brake on the front is already a mono-block 6 piston caliper. All you need is a 15" two piece rotor to surpass the big brake kits for the front that are available from the other manufacturers in 14". StopTech is building a 15"/380mm rotor, but I don't know if they have the hat to install it on a stock car with the Brembo caliper or if the Brembo rotor is as wide as the StopTech. I believe that the aftermarket will produce a 15" big brake kit for these cars, give them some time to catch up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
03 DSG Snake Posted March 26, 2013 Report Share Posted March 26, 2013 Hopefully something comes soon in the 15". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KongZTT GT28RS MD Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Any updates on this? Even a single piece drillwd/slotted rotor in the 15"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glroy Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Ford Racing has a 2 piece rotor now, but the price is stupid. I want to try this first http://store.kennybrown.com/product/brake-cooling/front-brake-ducts-2005-2014-mustang-boss-302-and-shelby-gt500 . I don't have the track pack so I can run the cooling to the same place as the 12s. From what I have read the brakes work great on our cars for the first lap and then heat get to them. If I can keep those big cast rotors cool brakes might not need rotors for a time and by then the price and options should be there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Haney Posted September 1, 2013 Report Share Posted September 1, 2013 Ford Racing does have a set as stated earlier. They are not slotted or drilled, but I would bet Brembo has a rotor that will fit the hat for this option. I honestly would think that Brembo would sell these hats also as separate piece, unless Ford has them tied up in an exclusive rights contract. You can usually find a Ford dealer selling Ford Racing parts at a significant discount. I'd be willing to bet they could be bought for under a grand for the set. https://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=23334 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I last talked with them a month or so ago, they said it will be out in about 6 months or so. It will save 10 to 15 pounds on the front end.

jsdeweyusmc Posted February 19, 2014 Report Share Posted February 19, 2014 check out brakeworld.com they have drilled and slotted rotors for our cars front and rears Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HyperStangs Posted February 20, 2014 Report Share Posted February 20, 2014 I don't believe they sell a two-piece version. I hate myself for spilling the beans a bit too early, and for that I do apologize. Our version should have prototypes by the end off next month and they are a true lightweight, two-piece, aluminum hat, cross-drilled, direct replacement for 15-inch front Brembo-equiped 13-14 GT500's. The first run is 50 sets and I have a wait list, to add your name to that list go here: Brake Upgrade Notification List. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HyperStangs Posted April 12, 2014 Report Share Posted April 12, 2014 Prototypes are being tested. I had no idea it was going to take this long. Safety/quality first. I want a set for myself and was hoping to have the protos on by Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can keep those big cast rotors cool brakes might not need rotors for a time and by then the price and options should be there. I just installed these with my Baers. I had the Shelby versions with my Brembos and I prefer Kenny Browns in design. The Kenny Brown cooling duct provides air directly to the rotor hat where as the Shelby's split the hat and the inner rotor face. This left me concerned with uneven cooling of the rotor.

svtmattUT Posted December 27, 2014 Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 I had an issue with warping rotors on my 2013, dealer had to turn them already. I upgraded to ones that could cool down quick, DBA 4000XS series slotted and drilled. They are awesome looking and solved my problem. http://www.carid.com/2013-ford-mustang-brakes/dba-4000xs-drilled-slotted-rotor-11343451.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patrickshelby Posted December 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 27, 2014 The full tilt boogie engraved set looks neat! I'd take them! I did not know DBA were doing the 15" for the late GT500...but have them in 14" and they are excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
