PBR calipers
 

When I did my suspension work today I noticed that my front brake calipers say PBR on them and are 2 piston units. Is this what came stock on a 2001 GT?

nope that is not stock hardware except on the 96-2004 cobras

Stock mustang ones are PBR as well. Because they make the ford calipers for all the vehicals i belive now. And stock we also have two piston setup just like the cobras but theres are larger and have larger rotors to make them stop better.

Interesting. I did not know that PBR made the mustang GT calipers as well; this is the first I have heard.

well here is a pic of them...

I thought the fronts were Cobra stuff as well. guess/maybe not? can who ever feels like it look at their calipers on their GT and see if these are the same??

yep those are PBR's in the front; however they are not the cobra calipers.

Thanks Spike; learn something new everyday!!

I am not sure of the year they started to do this, but i know for a fact all 94-up have PBR not sure about fox bodys though. I cant remember if PBR makes them as well.

I know 94-98 had single piston, don't think they are PBR either, and 99 up mustang GT's came with PBR twin piston stock. and of course cobras came with them from 94 till now. I guess when ford up the power from 215 (225 in 1998) to the 260HP they decided to beef up the GT's brakes with twin pistons, and they are great/cheap mods to do to your 94-98 GT, just get the brackets and calipers and they will bolt on, those single piston suck.

incorrect. at least 96+ all had PBR fronts. IIRC 94/95 were PBR as well.

Your brakes are stock. However, someone put some new shocks and struts with new springs in your car! You better watch who you deal with!!!
:D

my sixer has those calipers in front also...

haha, yeah wonder who put those on there??
