S197 Mustang Brake Upgrade: Swapping to Shelby GT500 6-Piston Stopping Power
Learn how to swap 15-inch, six-piston GT500 brakes onto any 2005-2014 GT.
While the stock Mustang braking system has evolved and improved over the course of the S197 run, resulting in a package on the Coyote-powered GT’s that can halt you from speed remarkably quicker than the mediocre 4.6 GT’s package, there is still much room for improvement. Luckily, the GT500’s braking system was also evolving along with its power and speed, and Ford Racing has seen fit to make that package orderable via the M-2300-T kit. The best news of all is that it’s affordable. The whole front and rear swap will only take about four hours on a Saturday afternoon. Of course, our buddy Robin Lawrence had the use of a hoist at Holley, so that did make it all go a little easier. Add a bit more time and maybe one more beer if you’re just using jackstands.
