Upgrading calipers

[olympic]

Are there any dual piston light weight aluminum calipers that are a direct replacement for the 94-95 Taurus units?

the only aftermarket company that comes to mind is Wilwood. Todd Cook of TCEPerformance offers a package deal right now. but i think its just for the fronts, no rears.

i have been looking at the Stang calipers...they resemble what we have, but alas, its RWD.

Thanks for the reply. The Cobra calipers also came into my mind but I remember reading that you have to use the Mustang bracket and modify it to work with the 11.6 upgrade. I'm just looking to upgrade calipers and save some weight in the process.

I looked at Todds site and it appears that the Wilwood calipers only work with his kits. I have no idea what kind of bracket he uses but it's probably not a Taurus part.

Huh?

Read the info on the JR kits. And the prices in the for sale section. This ones a slam dunk for what you want, all you'll need is the larger 96 rotor to go with it.

Thanks for the info. I totally missed the classified ad and the JR section of your site. I already have the 96 upgrade so what you have is pretty much what I'm looking for.

No problem, but don't overlook the fact the slicer won't fit the brakes....but then again this is the case with any such caliper you are looking for.

Buy now, when gone they are gone! Well, the 'kits' anyhow. The calipers aren't going anywhere.
