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.
This complete brake system offers the highest level of performance available. Using heavy duty directional vane 14 x 1.25″ rotors that mount to an aluminum hat this system offers great weight savings and exceptional cooling. Stress flow forged aluminum calipers with 6 stainless steel pistons accept .800″ thick pads in a variety of compounds.
Kit includes:
- 2 x Forged aluminum 6 piston, radial mount calipers, powder coated bright red or gloss black.
- 2 x 14″ x 1.25″ 2-piece heavy duty rotors with 36 directional cooling vanes mount to aluminum hats.
- 2 x Billet steel hubs machined from heat treated 4140. Screw on dust caps included (stock type dust cap can also be used if desired). Fitted with bearing races and standard length wheel studs (so you can use closed end lug nuts). 3″ long ARP studs and open ended lug nuts available as an optional extra.
- 2 x Billet spindle/caliper mounting brackets. CAD designed and CNC machined.
- 2 x Timken inner bearings.
- 2 x Timken outer bearings.
- 2 x Timken inner dust seals.
- 2 x Stainless steel braided brake hoses complete with all adapters to connect to caliper and stock hard lines. Hoses meet DOT MVSS-106 requirements.
- 2 x Castle nuts (70-73 spindles use nut and castle style nut retainer).
- 2 x Cotter pins.
- Grade 8 bolts and all the hardware to install the kit.
Optional components:
- ARP 3″ long wheel studs
- Big spindle kit
General Specifications:
Wheel Size Required: Fits 18″ or larger wheels
Axle: Front
Caliper Specifications:
Description: Forged Aluminum 6 Piston. Radial mount, differential bore
Type: Fixed/radial
Number of Pistons: 6 – Staggered stainless
Piston Size: 1.62″, 1.12″, 1.12″
Construction: Stress flow forged from premium grade aluminum alloy billets. This process re-aligns the metals internal grain structure to flow within the contour of the caliper body. This process eliminates the stresses and interruptions to the internal grain structure that occur when machining a straight block. This results in a stronger and stiffer caliper.
Pads: Continuing the performance trend of this system, this caliper uses a huge pad that is almost as thick as a stock Mustang rotor! Thick pads not only last a long time, they offer insulation from the heat of the rotor transmitting to the pistons and ultimately the fluid.
Compound Information
Street:
Medium friction, smooth engagement, low abrasion.
Flat torque curve. Maintains a coefficient of friction between .40 from cold peaking at .45 around 700F degrees.
Beds quickly and provides fast response without excessive abrasion.
Track:
High friction, smooth initial response, low wear rate.
Medium to high friction with good cold response.
Smooth, predictable engagement.
Long wearing pad in the middle temperature ranges with only moderate wear in sustained high heat conditions.
Peak coefficient of friction of .63 is reached at only 400F degrees and is almost flat all the way to 1300F degrees.
Finish: Powder coated bright red or gloss black – other custom colors available.
Notes: Each caliper is equipped with replaceable stainless steel bridge plates. These plates eliminate the bridge wear caused by pad gouging and extend the service life of the caliper body. The spring-loading action of the plates also eliminates pad rattle and dampens the vibration harmonics that contribute to squeal under braking. Other standard features include high-temperature, square faced o-ring seals for positive sealing, controlled piston retraction, and long service life in high heat conditions. Stainless steel pistons are used to resist corrosion and retard heat transfer from the pads. Two-piece bleed screw assemblies provide long, reliable service life and are easily replaced if necessary.
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.
Use 1″ bore master cylinder for perfect pedal height/pressure like #HERE.
Rotor Specifications:
Type: Heavy Duty 2 piece mount to CNC machined billet aluminum hats.
Diameter: 14″
Thickness: 1.25″
Venting: 36 Directionally vented vanes
Finish: Plain or Gas vented slots
Note: We use only quality, heavy duty castings cast and machined in North America. Many cheaper ‘offshore’ rotors are poorly cast and may contain inferior materials and air pockets.
