So I know a sight that can use 4 piston brembo brake calipers for s197s with 14 in rotors on 94 04 cars as well for older mustangs,but investing that much money into brakes I want to know if there is a way to put on 6/8 piston front brake systems (gt500 6P that is sold for s197s) as well as 4 piston rears. Ive come across some brands that sell piston sizes like that but I dont think anyone has actually put them on a mustang

Those adapters allow for 6 piston brake kits from the 2013+ shelby. But they require 19" wheels due to the size of the calipers and the 15" rotor.

Wilwood probably has a Superlight 6 caliper for the fronts.

4 piston calipers for the back is an issue. Stock rear brakes are 2 piston/floating caliper to allow for axle movement. 4 piston are fixed calipers. Slop in the C clip causes excessive wear on the rear pads. There is a way around that but it's a much bigger project.
