    S650 Brembo Rear Retrofit?

    Well, I need to correct my previous statements. The 2024 Mustang I looked at in Feb of 23 was not a production car so basically Ford cheaped out and used the same crappy rear wheel hubs from the S550. I assumed (you know that saying) Ford carried over the GT500 parts for the S650, like they did...

    VERY soft brake pedal after wheel hub swap

    Is it possible you entrapped some air or maybe damaged a brake hose? Make sure one isn't twisted and you didnt knock the fittings at the caliper loose. Bleed the rear while cycling the parking brake. Make sure the pads are floating freely in the calipers.

    Breaking rear studs

    Fairly normal, OE studs have experienced a fairly high failure rate (or more correctly, heat cycle out faster) I have hundreds of OE take out studs if you need some but they are designed for normal people, not track use.

    PSA for rear brake line clearance

    FYI with any aftermarket lines and or big (wide) wheels. You need to check this stuff through out the suspension travel. Aftermarket lines slide in the bracket that attach to the sway bar. So you can move the line so the slack is in the proper place. If you change ride height or camber from...

    Darkhorse, first test

    @steveespoSo this goes into the category of who do you believe? "SAME WEIGHT"Ford themselves publishes the weight at 4000+. Should be interesting to see where we are when the dust settles. Doesn't quite answer the "why are they slower" again, who knows.
