Hi everybody Brian from Steeda, highlighting the Ford Performance complete Bullet Brake Kit.
It's a great way to either upgrade your non-performance pack car
or service your Performance Pack S550 Mustang.
Ford has really been doing a great job over the years with the Mustang and bringing out Limited Edition models.
We've seen of course the Bullitts and now the Mach 1's and they both utilize red Brembo Calipers.
These are the same calipers that you would find on a normal Performance Pack cars
they are Brembos, they are six piston, they do use the 15 inch front rotors. The difference obviously
is that it's red and this really stood out when the Bullitt came out the Bullitt Mustang
as well as the Mach 1 Mustang and we see this and it's a great way to add a little bit of
character to the car and if you have an Ecoboost or base GT it's a phenomenal way to upgrade to
the Performance Pack setup. Everything's included as you can see we have some of it spread out on
the table, there's more behind me and watch as we install this on a car. A consideration for those
of you that already have a Performance Pack car, this is a great way to service worn out pieces
and or change the look of your car and this is something that we've seen over and over because
everything's included. If you need new brake pads where you already get the rotors, you get the new
backing plates, you get the lines, calipers, brackets. You guys get the idea here and as you see us as
we're installing on a customer's car, everything goes on just as it did OE because as noted
this is a Ford Performance part. This comes right out of the Ford parts bin. So you know right away
that it's going to be a direct bolt-on for your car.
From a performance standpoint, this kit is a great way to upgrade your base Mustang. You go to obviously a larger caliper that has six pistons
this is going to give you more power and more even torque or better feel through the brake pedal.
Even as they heat up and cool down, of course you go to the larger rotors like we mentioned before, 15 inch
and this will get you better cooling. So whether you're doing canyon runs, autocrossing the car or
attending track days, this will be a great upgrade. Since it's OEM you know that you can get
Hawk Performance pads to fit the OEM Performance Pack Front Caliper, really a great upgrade.
We mentioned earlier that these are direct bolt-on however we would recommend professional installation.
Those of you that know your way around the car and pretty comfortable with brakes, bleeding
brakes and replacing brake lines, well this might be something you can do at home. Otherwise we do
recommend professional installation because of the number of pieces. I mean Ford literally provides
almost everything with this kit. To reiterate just how many pieces there are keep in mind that
everything has to be assembled. This means that the clips need to go into the calipers, of course those are provided.
The brake pads and the shims have to go into the calipers. Those are of course provided.
Anti-squeal grease also provided. Something to note that was not provided though was the brake fluid.
Make sure you go to the dealership and get yourself some Motorcraft DOT 4 Brake Fluid which is
what we typically use for street applications or if you're going to be going to the racetrack or
autocrossing with your car and want a higher temp brake fluid. We typically go to like a Motool 660
or Castral SRF even the Wilwood Brake Fluid we've had really good success with.
In addition there's pieces for the conversions, you get the different heat shields to accommodate
the larger front calipers. Obviously your front rotors, you have your rear rotors, your caliper
and your caliper bracket for the rear as well as the brake pads, the shims, you guys get where we're
going with this and a whole bag of goodies that Matt's going to work through as far as installing
and you'll see this laid out on the table. There are a lot of parts and the reason we keep saying
there are a lot of parts is because don't get in over your head. It's really easy to see all these pieces
and we'll have a couple extra and when it comes to a break hit like this, you should have no extra pieces.
So again we may suggest professional installation, if you feel comfortable doing this.
Again it is something that you could probably do at home.
The Ford Performance Bullitt Mustang brake upgrade kit, is a great way to enhance the performance and build on the
performance of your base Mustang, as well as service a Performance Pack equipped Mustang. We talked a lot about the
performance gains and brake feel. It's all true, the Performance Pack cars from the factory have such
a phenomenal pedal feel to them and they're great at the race track. This is an awesome way to either
rebuild that Performance Pack car or upgrade your base car. To learn more about this and so
