Hello guys & gals! I was wondering if you could tell me if there is any difference between the Ford & GM PBR calipers? I have been looking at a used set from a late model Mustang and I believe they are identical to the GM units. I am building my version of a big brake combo using Corvette 13" C5 rotors, a '69 Camaro drum brake spindle & hub, and a home made caliper bracket. Any advice would be appreciated.

Thank you in advance!

ZR-1 owners have been buying Mustang pads for their PBR calipers for years. I'm pretty sure they are the same calipers.

What's the benefit of the Mustang pads given the selection available?

I'm putting together a 12" C5 caliper system. However, do you have the brackets made to allow the 13" rotor? I'd be interested in the design if you don't mind.

The Mustang pads are about half the cost for the same pad.
