Vorshlag Tech Tip: S197 & S550 Mustang Brake Weights, Comparison, & Experiences! 

Great video, I'm running the s550 6 piston 15" rotor on my 12 GT. I can not out drive these brakes. Running with Gloc pads, unbelievable!

Great technical video...we need more track oriented good tech stuff from you guys. The 2013-14 Mustang is the halo mustang and we need to keep it alive!

Baer eradispeed rotors are 2 piece rotors which vent from the back even on the base 14 inch rotors.

AWESOME VIDEO!!!! Thanks

Love the video, would you recommend to use the S550 base four piston caliber, with 14” rotor and nice pads on a S197?? i am slowly building it but i am afraid it might not work or more damage, if worse, car accident.

I can't believe I bought another 2013 GT after selling the V6, I did full suspension with Whiteline and MCS coilovers from Vorshlag earlier, but I skipped out on 6 piston brembos. This time, stoptechs are going on my car with Forgestar f5s, gotta keep unsprung weight low.

very imformative video

Did you do any testing with a gt350r brake upgrade kit ?

What the brembos on the 18+ pp1 cars? I'm going to track my car next summer for the first time and now this has me worried!

so the 4 pot caliper is not the issue, it is the rotor. Baer sells two piece traditional rotor; wouldn't that work?

Is it possible to add an s197 brembo brakes to a s550?

So how does the S550 calipers work with a different rotor that cools from the rear?

Are the rears pointless to upgrade on a 11-14? The standard brakes are atrocious, stopping power and brake fade especially. I am looking into a brake upgrade for my standard brake packages 2013gt. I’d prefer to not spend an arm and a leg but was a bit confused on which factory brembo package to go with. A aftermarket bbk is just crazy for how much you pay for it. The American muscle package which is just upgraded rotors and pads,( same factory size) seems pointless and a waste of money as I doubt it will make any difference. Thoughts?

I looked on your site for a PowerBrake kit, I didn’t see one for my 2005 Mustang. Did I miss it? I need to upgrade.

Some good info, but I'm not buying how lousy the stock 2015 GT brakes are. He said he literally got one lap out of them. I always get a bit suspicious when someone is selling something. I know guys that run them plenty and they easily match the performance of the Brembo 4 pistons. The only difference being that they are front vent as opposed to rear vent. Put the S550's on a 2011-2014 with rear vent ("14") Brembo style rotors (which you have to use anyways), and you have the exact Brembo setup for half the price. This more than most guys who start with base SN197 brakes will ever need. The GT 550 calipers and "14 rear vent rotor combo is not addressed, or tested in this video.

I've seen some pictures of the s197 models using the 2015 brembo using the 14 gt500 15inch rotors and some spacers would you do that as a topic in seriously considering those and my friends as well

Looking to use the s550 6 piston Brembos on a 2014 s197. Can the s550 15" rotors be used on a s197? Or is the 15" GT500 rotor the only option to pair with the Brembos?

Is there a brake upgrade for the 14 inch rotors that makes them rear flow?

Why not just use the brake package from the GT350R?

What about the OEM 6 Pistons with 15" rotors from the 2013-14 GT500? Could those be used on any 2005-14 s197 Mustang?

Lol instead of throwing a set away throw it my way i need some ill put in all the time to repair them for my mustang

I wouldn’t bother replacing the oem 6 piston caliper but just change to a 2 piece 15 in rotor.

They fit just need innovation.

This cracks me up bwahahahaha people you really need to know body styles let me help you you have a fox body SN195 new edge SN197 and then that brings us to the S550 and now you know and knowing is half the battle G.I.Joe lol get it right people
