    Brembo Big Brake Upgrade

    Had to change my pads, so I upgraded the front discs (no upgrade option for Brembo for the back). While I was at it, was tired of those black calipers!

    Having my calipers painted along with some other mods now. Did you completely disassemble yours, or paint them on the car? Also wondering what the Mustang brown interior it is you have. Never heard of it, I have Tuscan
    Lastly, post some full shots of the car if you can, mine may look quite similar when done.

    I believe Tuscan(US) = Mustang(EU, Canada).

    desperado, I noticed you also have the Brembo brakes. Are you happy with them or do you feel there would be some additional benefit to the front/rear STaSIS kit?
