Pun Intended. Really tho, I don't want to buy a damn brake kit just to have cool looking calipers. Slotted Rotors are not that expensive, but I just cant find calipers by themelves that would work as a stock replacement, and new rotors without the calipers doesnt look nearly as nice. I did think about painting my old ones but they look like crap and I dont know if they'd look that much better painted. It probably helps that I want them black soo it wont show imperfections as much tho. Soo does anyone know where to get some cool looking OEM fit brake calipers for a 94-95 stang. If not, would the paint look ok on my old ones, and should I buy a caliper paint kit or are there better ways to do it. It would most definetly be cheaper than new calipers and certainly better than paying 2 grand for brakes when all u want is the appearance. Thanks
I wouldnt see a need to get after market brakes if you arent going to get bigger wheels or F/I your car.
I dont know anything about replacement calipers but i can talk about painting a bit
Well if you just want it black, one of those brake caliper paint kit from autozone is just fine.
You gotta make sure to prep it right, youll probably have to lightly sand the surface, clean off the surface with soap or some thinnner/grease remover and make sure its dry before you shoot it. and make sure to not do any heavy coats because that will run the paint, longer to dry etc
Alright, I'll proabably do just that then. However I would like to know what F/I your car means.... Maybe I wish to do that as well, whatever it may be.
for my 94, i picked up some drilled/slotted rotors and painted the calipers with the duplicolor kit. i think it made a world of difference in the appearance of the wheel wells. i think i spent about $200 on rotors and then whatever the install was, and the caliper paint kit is like $20 from autozone or somewhere. so overall it was about $300 when it was all said and done. i cant find a closeup of my wheels before, but there is a picture of my car before, and a picture of the wheels/brakes after.

That does rather nice. I will more than likely do that until i actually want the bigger brakes. Until then I'll probably just get some brembo rotors and paint my calipers. I am curious to see what a pair looks like black tho, as far as the Duplicolor kit goes which I'm assuming is what you used Ryan. That actually does look pretty damn good. haha especially for $20.
yeah, i used the duplicolor kit. it took me like 4 hours, but i took my time and made sure they were very clean and put like 4 light coats on them. but im very happy with the results. im sure the black would look good on your car, because the red would clash.

You can always upgrade your front brakes to cobra brakes by going to a junkyard and getting the front ones from a wrecked cobra. Cost me about $200 Plus I bought a new braded hose kit from sumit for the front and back. Did the work myself. http://mjbobbitt.home.comcast.net/~mjbobbitt/mustang/sn95brakes.html
You may need to get a bigger rim than the stock gt rim but I am not possitive on that.

They're 400 dollars but thats a good point about them being a better caliper, and they have th pony logo. The rear set is only 200 tho. But painting the rear ones would look good too.
I used the $20 caliper kit from autozone about 2 yrs. ago. If you take your time and paint them neatly, they really look good. Then about every 6 months i just touch them up
