FFR standard brakes for supplied Moser Rear End

[rapidray]

What rear brake setup are the standard supplied FFR brakes? What rotors and pads do they use? Year make and model would be appreciated. I thought they were supposedly 11.65? Thanks Ray

Are you planning to go with the solid axle or the IRS set up?

Here is what FFR offers: http://www.factoryfiveparts.com/16285-performance-11-65-rear-brake-set/

I believe they are PBR calipers.

I have the solid axle supplied by FFR. Just cannot seem to find the right pads for the calipers. Thank you for your help! Ray

When I checked with FFR about 18 months ago when I was in need of replacement caliper piston dust boots, they indicated the calipers in their 11.65" rear disk brake kit were from 87-88 Thunderbird. Don't know who makes the rotor or pads.

[Papa]

Okay -- I didn't read your question correctly. So, FFR also sells the pads for their rear brake system they use: http://www.factoryfiveparts.com/16276-rear-brake-pads/

Sorry I can't be of more help than that. Maybe give FFR a call and ask them what pads they use (sell) and then see if you can find them locally.

OK, here is what I came up with and I could be wrong. The standard brake rotors are 11.65" or 296 mm off of a 2004ish Mustang SVT Cobra while the pads are 87-88 Ford Thunderbird, (I could not find any 11.65 rotors for a 87-88 Thunderbird). I will check Monday as I have a local supplier who picks up and delivers. I am sure there is a reason for the madness that I don't get. (why not use the pieces off of one type of vehicle year)? Thanks Ray

Could the 11.65 rotors be from the 2000 Mustang shown below:

Also, you may just want to call Factory Five or the folks at Moser since they produced the rear.


Note:.. I purchased my axle assembly from Moser back in 2016 (Dana 44 Type) but I am running Ford Explorer Rear Brakes because I liked the old top hat shoe style parking brake.

One more piece of information I found on FFR's website regarding the 11.65" rear brakes:

These instructions apply to any 1986-2004 Ford Mustang 8.8 rear axle with Traction-Lok differential (FFR#s 14319,14970) using 1994-2004 OEM Mustang style disc brakes (FFR#s 14834, and 14903).

A Google search for 1994-2004 Mustang 11.65" rear brake rotors and pads:

I think Steve nailed it and you just need to buy the Cobra parts for a 1994-2004.

I appreciate your help you are correct! I bought the right stuff but I had problems with the pads however after looking at the caliper closely I noticed that the caliper just had casting flaws and after I cleaned them up they fit perfectly. Thank you Ray

120777Installed rear brakes, bled and worked great. Here are the parts I used. 2002 Mustang Cobra 11.65 rotors. 87-88 Ford Thunderbird pads. 96 Chevy rear brake lines.These parts are for the standard supplied FFR rear brakes for the 8.8 solid rear axle supplied by Moser. Thanks for all your help. Ray

Received Wilwood universal brake cables and installed. Thought I would post some pictures so you could see the final assembly. Thanks for your help! Ray

The brake caliper and brake bracket are off of an 87 to 88 Ford Thunderbird the caliper bracket has a special grind on it to open it up to fit the 11.65 in rotor the rotor is off of a Saturn Vue I cannot remember the year exactly but the holes are opened up to 14 mm

[Garage Guy]

I am looking for the email specifically I asked this question of Jay at FFR in purchasing last year if you email him he generally gets right back with you

[Garage Guy]

Ok I found the email from Jay the rotors are from a 2007 Saturn Vue with a 3.5 L V6 in the stud holes are machines to 14.5 mm my bad

I found Cobra caliper brackets for 8.8 rear ends online google search a 3 letter Acronym Co. Ford no longer makes them. PS Cobra calipers, rotors and pads can be found where they have every part your car will ever need.
