this video was immensely helpful. you are the man
Thank you!!! 😊 I really appreciate the support.
I've not used threadlocker for many of these things. Certainly not the clamps to hold the hoses. I've been told that those spacers will mess up handling also. Not sure that's true, but I'd think especially for the front end it would, - especially if you didn't do the rears the same way. thanks for the video tho!!
Awesome video! Very clear even for a french guy that have a bad english😂 I'm subscribing
Thank you
About to do this for my 11 gt. That link you attached for front pads don’t appear to be the correct ones unless the pic on Amazon is generic. They appear to be for stock calipers (floating) not (fixed) the new 4 piston calipers you installed. Great video btw!
Thank you for the positive feedback. I think Amazon changed it to a generic picture because the description states, "This kit is compatible with:2007 - 2008 Ford Mustang - SHELBY GT500 Models 2009 - 2012 Ford Mustang - SHELBY Models 2011 Ford Mustang - Base or GT models with 4 Piston Front Calipers 2012 - 2014 Ford Mustang - Base, GT, or Boss 302 models with 4 Piston Front Calipers"
Hopefully, they didn't screw up the product links.
This was pretty much spot on as far as a how to for installing the 4 piston Brembos for the front and stock rear pad, rotor and brake line replacement. I was even able to bleed mine by myself. lol
And after the pad bed in, it stops on a dime! 🤙
Thanks again!
Thank you for the support!!!!
This was actually amazing, thank you I’m planning on upgrading my brakes and I actually wanted to see know it would be done! Much appreciated
Thank you for the positive feedback. ☺️
08 Bullitt stock rims are 18" which are larger than the stock 17". Are those stock rims? Tires say 19". May want a disclaimer on the rim sizing. Tks
The main issue we saw with new calipers was not the wheel diameter, but the offset. We found several people with 20" wheels that touched the caliper. Their offset needed attention. Very good point to address though.
This was a very helpful video. I watched it several times before deciding that I could easily do this job myself. Thanks for posting!
I'm very glad it helped. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.
I have the GT500 2010 Factory OEM style rims (18" x 9.5) on my 2012 GT. Would I still need the offset wheel adapter to work with the Brembo calipers?
It's unlikely you would require spacers because the GT500s had the performance calipers. Do you know the offset of those wheels?
@@mcgurrentertainment Okay, thank you. And, unfortunately I do not know the offset. But, I definitely will check before purchasing a set of those calipers to be sure.
Let me know if there is anything I can do to help.
@@mcgurrentertainment Offset is 42mm.
Hmmmm...that's a tough call. The wheels in the video are 50mm offset. Is there a large gap in between the front caliper and wheel spoke?
Hey I love your channel you’ve helped me immensely with my 2013 GT. Question, why did you add wheel spacers on the rear wheels?
Thank you very much. The owner wanted a flush look along the fenders for all for wheels.
Awesome video. My next winter project 😀
Nice!!!!
Best set of instructions out there. Couldn’t have done mine without you
very informative video. thank you
Thank you for the support
Great video! Why are there no rear calipers though
Thank you!!! Great question...Sadly, the performance rear calipers look similar to the OEM ones. So, this wasn't even humored at the time.
@@mcgurrentertainment gotcha so you mean you didn’t see any point in replacing them at the time since the original ones were still good and the performance ones were pretty much exactly the same?
Pretty much.
Why a new dust shield? Just P-M or is it for clearance? IE this dust shield is matched to the newer caliper? Also will this work for 18" wheels?
The new dust shield was used to match the new rotors (it's slightly bigger). If I recall, the OEM dust shield didn't interfere with clearance for the caliper nor wheel. Sadly, I can't confirm the wheel clearance. The majority of the issues were in the wheel offset (the spokes hitting the caliper). 18 in wheels might fit, but don't quote me.
Great detailed instillation, very informative. The only thing Ill note that could be changed (although not a necessity) is switching the inner brembo brake pad to the outer side towards the wheel face. The pad you installed on the inner side of the caliper has the metal wear sensor on it and I typically like having it face the outside so I can verify the pad thickness remaining every once in a while just by looking through the spokes of the wheel.
Thank you for the positive feedback. ☺️
Do my brakes system next!!!😆 Pleeeaaasssee!!
🤣
@@mcgurrentertainment That was an Amazing Job!👍🏾
Thank you very much!!!! It was a funny job.
Great video. Very informative. I will be doing front brake upgrade. Thanks for sharing
Thank you very much for the support
Great video. Picking up parts next week to do the front caliper upgrade. Thanks
Thank you for the positive feedback. Let me know how it turns out.
Video just saved me hundreds of dollars and we learned along the way 👍🏽
That's what i love you hear!!!! 😃
This is the perfect install tutorial
Thank you!!! That does mean a lot.
When you bleed the brakes. What size hose would I get. And how long.

Just throwing the idea out there. What if you only upgraded the front system, what do you think of relocating the stock fronts to the back since the backs are smaller/less powerful? Might be a dumb question but there it is.
It's not a dumb question. The first thing that comes to mind would be the bolt holes of the rear brakes lining up with the front. Since the rear brakes are smaller, I would imagine the bolt holes are closer together.
@@mcgurrentertainment Got ya! I will check then. Thanks for taking the time to reply.
Anytime
Hi. Nice job. I need spacers for my car. Only like 1/8th inch. Do I need the lone like you have. Or just the 5 hole spacers.
Thank you very much. You dont have to use the exact ones used in the video, just keep in mind 1/2", 3/4" and 1" wheel spacer options may need extended wheel studs installed so it can properly install the wheels on your Mustang.
@@mcgurrentertainment thank you sir. I only need 1/8th. I have the universal ones right now but gonna get better ones once she's done being painted
Awesome. I gotta do this too! Thanks for another video haha I’ll be coming back to this video as soon as the parts come in.
Nice!!! It was a fun job. Feel free to send your pictures when you're done. I would love to see your before and afters.
Your instructions are excellent! Thank you!
Thank you!!
Nice video. Whats the correct procedure for all 4 brakes. In order. Installing brembros sat.
Thank you. A pdf copy of the procedure is in the description for all 4 brakes. The order is the same as the video. I'm not sure what you mean by "Installing brembros sat."
@@mcgurrentertainment im installing new rotors and calipers brembro on my stock gt. Upgrading the brakes
How wide does the front wheel have to be to clear the caliper?
I dont remember the exact sizes off the top of my head. However, the wheels that should work are the same as the Shelby wheels.
Thank you again for this one. You are putting much care, passion and attention to detail into your videos. And it shows. You have a new subscriber.
I greatly appreciate the kind words. Stupid question: Are you the content creator?
@@mcgurrentertainment Yes, but a casual one and not in your field. I just happen to have some DIY planned on my car and I appreciate the quality of your production.
Very cool. Just curious, I've noticed content creators have a deeper appreciation for a video's quality and efforts. They are typically more familiar with the hard work required to make good content. Again, thank you very much for the support!!!
@@mcgurrentertainment Oh yeah, I know this one has taken you at least a week, if not two, to gather the right tools, lay out the correct steps in a comprehensive pattern, shoot everything, edit the shooting, slap the overlays on, and sync the audio. Trust me, it didn't go unnoticed. All the best!
Very nice instructions, how about the ABS? Is it complaining about anything?
Thank you for the feedback. Negative, no ABS issues, nor codes. Good question.
@@mcgurrentertainment cause with my project I'm having pressure sensor code and new ABS didn't fix it, so I was looking for other reasons. Anyhow the direction of the ABS isn't like in factory maybe that is why
Any luck researching the code online?
@@mcgurrentertainment The code is C1A99:62-C8 I just have been visiting the dealer today as I been hoping they could reach out to Ford, but as modified car it's not much possible. I have checked with the Ford PinPoint test and I was coming to one of these reasons, Brembo (now it's out) and the brake vacuum module that is from 2008 (I don't think it's the reason) and the position of the ABS module that is not as it is in 2010+ and this module has G-sensor so it could be not happy with what it reads...
Hmmm...tough call
do you use the same mounting bolts???
Yes
Great video! I just bought a set of Curva Concepts c42 19 inch wheels for my 14 Mustang GT. Will I need spacers?
I'm not familiar with these wheels. You would need to measure to confirm they would fit. If there is a large gap (~1in.) between the wheel and the caliper, you should be ok.
does it fit on the 05-09 mustang too?
I'm not 100% sure
Ty for this video.
I'm glad you liked it. 😀
I was told that Brembo calipers wouldn't work with stock wheels. Do the spacers make it where they work? Where did you get the spacers and what kind are they?
For these wheels, yes, spacers were needed for the new calipers. Link in the description
Hey there, y'all. I clicked on the link for the dust shield and got a 404 error. Any other recommendations?
I figured that would happen over time. It seems LMR discontinued the product. I updated the link for another vendor as well as added the part number next to the link. Hope this helps.
are the wheel spacers needed?
For these wheels, yes
What is the size of the rotar?
355mm and 300mm. Link in the description.
Very nice video that is very clear on all the steps and tools needed. I have a question, however: why did you put the wheel spacer on afterward? Was it just for looks or is there a technical/mechanical reason?
It was to allow a gap between the wheels and new calipers. The factory wheels would touch the new calipers without the spacer.
@@mcgurrentertainment Ahh ok.
Excellent video!
Thank you!!!!
I have the gt500 rotors and calipers. Do I need the space my offset is 54
You might. The offset of the wheels in the video were +50mm and they required the spacers.
What are your jack points?
www.cjponyparts.com/resources/2005-2014-mustang-jack-points
@@mcgurrentertainment thank u
Should you need the spacers if you have the factory Brembo pack wheels? I don't have the Brembo brakes on my car, just the factory wheels from a Brembo car.
You should be fine. The spacers were required for this setup due to the factory wheels' offset.
@@mcgurrentertainment Thanks for the confirmation
Anytime
Is it necessary to install a new dust shield, brake line , or speed sensor ?
Required, no. Since we were changing out all the brakes, it was ideal to replace all the associated components.
@@mcgurrentertainmentHoly shit didn’t expect a quick reply, thank u 🙏
That's how we roll 😉
@@mcgurrentertainmentdo u or are u able to do a video explaining on how to replace the speakers and door subs in a 2011-2014 mustang s197 ?
That's a great video idea. Sadly, I do not have access to a S197 Mustang. The one in the video was traded in recently for the S550 gen.
Did you get 1in spacers all the way around and can I see how it looks
Yes, there are 1in spacers on all four wheels. Let me see what I can do about getting another walk around recording.
Jay, I have pictures and a video of the car with the spacers on them. Send me a message on Instagram and I'll send them to you.
thanks for the video really really in-depth !
Thank you for the support
Hi. Are the two links for the calipers meant to be for one each side? Or can I just buy 2 of either links?
Yes, one for each side (Driver side and Passenger Side).
What were the spacers for in the rear?
If I recall, I think they are 1" spacers.
@@mcgurrentertainment I’m sorry, I meant why did you need and install the spacers?
I have a 2013 Boss 302… everyone loves all of those high performance options that come with the car… until it’s time to replace/repair them. I’m going to have to take a mortgage on my house to replace my pads, rotors, and calipers. 💰 💰 💰 😢
Probably half the cars I’ve owned in my lifetime cost me less than this brake job.
I grew up restoring cars with my dad in the late 70s and have always done my own repairs (except computer crap on newer cars). Geesh!!!! Pads used to be $6.00, turning a rotor was $5.00… and I never remember having to replace calipers (except rebuilding the faulty calipers on corvettes - $10.00 kit).
But to be fair, if I had the income in 1978 that I have now, I would have been a billionaire… so to speak.
C’est la vie!!
I gotcha, good question. The spacers were a preference by the owner. He wanted the wheels to sit "flush" with the fenders. It's more of a cosmetic addition.
I do miss working on the older cars. Love being able to climb in the engine bay as soon as you pop the hood, very spacious. And you are right, car parts are no longer generic replacement items; everything is customized and expensive.
@@mcgurrentertainment 👍 thank you.
