S197 Big Brake Job on a Budget

Install of Oreilly's and AutoZone (Brembos) on an S197 with Powerstop Extreme Pads from American Muscle on a 2012 Saleen/SMS 302 White Label. (The calipers are refurbished Brembos without the Brembo stamp/logo sold by oriellys and Autozone but hard to find)

Great video, straightforward and informative!

Thanks! Figured others could do the same to their stang.

Super cool to see another saleen around! I want to do this to mine. The brakes are a joke lol

[@TripleThreatMustang]

Yeah, I have had Saleens since High School, this one is my son’s, he loves it, but we may be selling soon cause he wants the stupid Dark Horse, haha.

Hi Can you tell me your front wheel size? Because I have the same wheel from American muscle and I’m about to do the same upgrade. Thanks

[@TripleThreatMustang]

@@mishaari85 front wheels are American Muscle 20x8.5

[@geraldgerhardstein2170]

@@TripleThreatMustang This is the “ track pack “ option on 10/11 cars ? I think, Ford was using their OEM 19x8.5 wheel with no clearance problems with the “ big brake “ setup. Where were you running into 5mm clearance problems with these GT500 replicas ? Are the AM 500 wheels true to the OEM Shelby wheels ?

[@geraldgerhardstein2170]

SUPER vid you guys ! Very professionally done. SO Much better than that big attitude, choppy , snotty crappy vids .. Did you use the OEM dust shield ? Or replace the dust shields with the GT500 little lower ball joint protector ? Nice vid …

[@TripleThreatMustang]

Thanks so much! I think we just kept OEM shield on there.

[@Alex5ohh]

Whats calipers are those? Do you have the part number or something? I love that gt500 😍 my favorite car of all time

Pads and rotors were from American Muscle if you pause the beginning of the video I show the boxes with labels

@@TripleThreatMustang ok thank you, i found them, trying to do the same to mine

[@TripleThreatMustang]

Great! Good luck man, it seemed like an easy job if u have basic skills. My buddy Gabe did it pretty fast. The only hick up we had was needing the spacers at the end because of the aftermarket wheels. Let me know how u make out, if u get stuck w anything I can ask Gabe for info to help.

[@SinnerzCoyote]

Do you have the part numbers for all the items??

[@TripleThreatMustang]

I do not off the top of my head, but I can check tomorrow when I have time and I will reply again.
