People have been asking about putting 2015 brakes on the SN95, so I thought I'd just go for it. Here's the best part:
Total cost was under $1000!
Required hardware:
S550 Calipers - $100 each (+$50 core)
Rotors (2x): Blanks $60 ea from an auto parts store, slotted $100 ea from StopTech.
FTR Brembo Kit - $450
MM Stainless Brake Lines - $85
Pads (currently only available from Ford) ~$100
Caliper Pin Kit (2x) - ~$12
Total cost: $979!
First off, I started with our GT500 Brembo Adapter Kit (http://www.fullytorquedracing.com/sn95-gt500-brembo-brake-kit.html). The S550 calipers use the same mounting pattern as S197 brakes, but there are some clearance issues so we had to machine down a section to get it to clear the bracket. The only other modification we made was to add a 1/8" washer between the bracket and the spindle so everything would line up.
There was a fair bit (maybe took an extra 30 min) of modifying to the caliper, so I'm thinking we'll probably come out with a bracket specifically for the S550 calipers if there's enough interest.
The S550 Caliper is a bit larger than the GT500 Brembo, and also has larger pistons as you see here.
IMPORTANT NOTE: Use the S550 CALIPERS, PADS, AND HARDWARE, with the 2012 GT500 ROTOR
