Hi!
I'm on schedule to take delivery of my Bullitt sometime next week (yeah!!!).
My question is about the brakes. What kinda brakes are they? Cobra? GT? Brembo?
I read in a review that they are Brembo, however I just got off of the phone with a rep from Brembo, and led me to believe that Brembo's were only used in the Bullitt proto-type and that they're too big for the wheel that Ford chose for the production run.
So, what kinda brakes are on a Bullitt?
And more importantly, what aftermarket options are avaiable for Race Pads?
I'm familiar with Wilwood brakes (I have them on another car), and I regularly and easily change from street pads to race pads, when swapping tire/wheel set-ups for the track.
Are there any Race pads available for the brakes on a Bullitt? If so, then from whom? And, how labor intensive is the swap - is this a five minute job per caliper or longer?
One of my goals is to have my wife feel comfortable (and safe) taking my Bullitt on an open track (or HPDE). And to do so, I want to have sticker tires, better gripping pads, and a fuel cell. ~275HP is plenty, and I've been reading good stuff about Eibach springs...
Sorry to ramble, but I haven't posted much, and thought it would be a good way to begin to introduce myself :wink:
Keep the rubber side down,
