Default Dual piston brakes?

I just put new drilled rotors on the pony last night and noticed that i have dual piston calipers in the front. I thought the 6ers only had single pistons?

Can you post some pics? I dont know any 6ers that did come with duels...I got the Mach 1 break kit and the duels are so much better than single.

From what I've read PBR make OE brake systems...i suppose that means they were stock?

No, it really looks like duel piston brakes. Good for you, great upgrade that someone before you put on the car.

Yup, the 94-98 cars got single pistons, the 99-04 got duals. The 99-04 make a good upgrade for anyone with the earlier year cars.

Yes, dual front and single rears where the standard on that model Mustang. PBR (now owned by Bosch) manufactures brakest for Ford, Chevy and Chrylser. In fact those brakes we cast, machined and assembledin the same manufacturing facility that assemblies the Corvette corners.
