Hey all. Does anyone have recommendations to upgrade the single piston brakes with the FF 15” Halibrands? I’ve got 4 wheel power disc brakes.

EDIT: Disregard. I’m staying with the single piston calipers.

I know you said to disregard but depending what spindles you're running the 11" 1999-2002 Mustang GT Calipers and Rotors will work with the F5R 15's and they are 2 piston calipers.

Thank you Frank. Much appreciated. One reason I said disregard is because I’m stockpiling parts in my garage for future projects and upgrades and I have to stop somewhere. You wouldn’t believe the stuff I’ve been acquiring for my body off projects and I’m getting way ahead of myself. Gotta put the brakes on my spending! (pun intended!)

I suggest you keep disregarding this 'upgrade'. Maybe 1.5 years ago I ordered PBR calipers to do the same thing. 2 piston aluminum vs 1 piston iron has to be better right? Then another thread about the plastic pistons in the PBRs sticking popped up. What bothered me was it happened to some when they were away from home. So those calipers are still in the box in the basement. I just don't need the headache.
