I need a new RH front caliper for my 2014 FFR Roadster. I know it's a twin piston PBR, but what year(s) Mustang part was FFR using then?

This is a note I copied and saved. Hopefully someone else will verify the info.
'Yes the standard brakes FFR provideds in complete kit is 99-04 Mustang Gt front calipers. They use 11” rotors
upgrade to 99-04 Cobr/Mach 1 calipers that run 13” rotors.'

Hey Craig, do you have a similar note about rear brakes? For 11 in rotors. I think those are 87 Tbird?

No I don't. What I remember is rear calipers were 96 or so Mustang GT or, w/ the larger and thicker rotors, were Mustang Cobra. Like these;

I chose this illustration to explain that the calipers are the top two pieces and the brackets are the bottom two pieces. The calipers were the same GT vs Cobra. The Cobra brackets are longer to fit the larger rotor and the pads are the same shape but thinner to fit the thicker rotor. I do remember more recently something about FFR supplying Tbird or ? but don't know the details. Hawk used to have a real large table of pad shapes and dimensions so you could take your pad and match it to a diagram, get industry number, and then figure what cars it is used on like this.

I am pretty sure this is from that Hawk list but I just found this illustration not the list. The HB459 is the Hawk number and the D957 is the industry number.

I got my kit in Jan of 2019 and the upgraded brake package is indeed 87-88 T bird calipers. I think they are using a different caliper now on the rears according to the website.
