2005-2014 Mustang Baer Eradispeed+ 14" Slotted Front Brake Rotors 5261003-0901004

The basic change over from the stock 12.5 rotor to the Baer 14 in. rotor upgrade is very easy to do. The supplied parts fit perfectly. However my application with the factory 18 inch wheels did result in a caliper to wheel interference fit. The easiest fix would have been to simply install 3mm wheel spacers. Since i didnt have any I got out my flat files and filed down the outer caliper perimeter and the inner caliper area that looks like three knuckles. I didnt have a power hand grinder so filing by hand took at least 30 minutes per side. I filed and kept test fitting until i could slip a .020 shim between the caliper and wheel. I also had to reuse my partially worn outer brake pad to allow the caliper to slide inward enough so it wouldnt contact the wheel. Using a new outer pad locked the caliper into the wheel. The thickness of the inner pad makes no difference so i went ahead and installed a new inner pad. The outer pad i reused was about 1/3 worn from new. So anything thinner will add clearance. Once the outer pad wears out, simply put a new pad on the inside and switch the worn inside pad to the outside to maintain clearance. I used oem quality ceramic pads from wagner and they work smoothly and brake great. If you have 19 inch or larger wheels you will have no clearance issues and this will be a fast bolt on that will take no more than an hour per side if youre slow like me. The rotors look great and the car has increased brake torque due to the increased surface area and larger diameter. As a side note, I also installed a larger 13 inch rotor conversion ( from another manufacturer/supplier) to the rear brakes at the same time to maintain balanced braking . These cleared with no problems . Well worth the time and effort .
