13x1.25" Rotor 4 Piston Forged Aluminum Caliper Brake System Disc brake conversion kit for 1964-73 Mustangs and other Fords.
Available for 65-73 DRUM, 68-73 DISC & 75-80 Granada spindles. Retains OE track width.
Offering maximum performance this system is a must for serious street machines and high horsepower track cars. Utilizing a deeper hat offset this system is a direct bolt on to 65-73 DRUM, 68-73 DISC (OEM & TCP Spindle) & 75-80 Granada spindles. No wheel spacers are required to fit a Torq Thrust II or a Vintage Wheel Works 17x8 style wheel.
This complete 'turn-key' brake system offers the highest level of performance available. Using heavy duty directional vane 13 x 1.25" rotors mounted to an aluminum hat this system offers great weight savings and exceptional cooling. Stress flow forged aluminum calipers with 4 stainless steel pistons accept .800" thick pads in a variety of compounds.

Compound Information

Caliper is mounted rearward of the spindle upright (trailing). This position makes routing brake duct hose in from the front of the car super easy.
Fully assembled caliper with pads weighs 7.2lbs.
Use 1" bore master cylinder for perfect pedal height/pressure like #HERE.
The rotor we use in this kit provides the best of both worlds. Increased thermal mass due to its diameter and thickness yet lighter weight when mounted to an aluminum hat. Maximizing the size of the aluminum hat and minimizing the iron rotor ring to only the pad swept area reduces the weight of the entire rotor/hat assembly to only 15lbs per side. That is 3lbs lighter than our 13x1.1" one piece rotor. The wide air gap of this rotor promotes more airflow and sheds massive amounts of heat keeping brake temperatures in check.
Meticulous attention to detail and advanced computer modeling techniques ensure perfect fit. Our brackets are custom CAD designed, CNC machined, then plated for corrosion protection.
Advanced and professional CAD and CNC tools are used to ensure strength and durability.
