This one has been awhile in the making... hat tip to @Brucecris for all the help.

6-piston front, 4 piston rear, standalone EPB (GT500 or '05 GT anyone?)
405mm front, 380mm rear two-piece rotors
stainless lines
Hawk 5.0 brake pads
flush with DOT 5.1

definitely more progressive than the stock track pack setup. they pick up in the pedal throw a little later and come on more gently, but once engaged definitely ramp up alot harder--i really like the new feel. like alot...

For sure. He is a good guy to boot and that always helps. Especially when trying to blaze something new.

As of right now they are a 1 of 2 set (the other set being on Bruce's personal vehicle). Not sure if they are going to be offered or not or when or official pricing, but I can tell you it would be significantly less than Rotora's offering.

To be completely transparent - They fit amazing. They work amazing. However we have a few electrical connection issues to work out as these are not yet 100% plug and play for the EPB caliper into the OEM connector - the connectors don’t match up and I think Ford might be using a proprietary connector (I’m not an electrical wizard). They work - and work well - but I have an issue with offering something for sale that won’t work out of the box. I don’t think it’s fair to offer that. This is why I’m hesitating.

I know this doesn't answer your question, but 5000-ish miles later, still running good over here.

Yes and no! Looking to go to a bigger brake option and wanting to check out all options.

How did you route the front brake lines? Just curious what you did with the stock brake line mount on the hub to have the Superforged stainless lines put in place with good clearance for turning radius?
