Need help. Can’t seem to figure out how to assemble the brakes pads and wear guides for the FFR brakes for the IRS option

Can you share a few photos and some info on where you're getting stuck?

There are 2 version of the irs, i have the erly version, likely from a t-bird, mustang svt, or other. Around 2015 they switched to a different version. Let me know if you gave the early version.

Use Google to do a search for how the calipers and pads fit together

The instructions for the IRS brakes don't show pad installation, but the instructions for the solid axle brakes do. Take a look at pages 8-10 here: https://www.factoryfive.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/Rear-Brake-Instructions-rev-E.pdf

Based on your pictures, it looks to be the exact same caliper, pads, and clips. I used the donor brakes from my IRS take-out so I have no first-hand experience, but I hope that helps point you in the right direction.

This is a big help. I didn’t suspect I would need to grind the guides
Thanks
