This is quite a deal for Brembo/Ford 6-piston calipers with a proper stiffening rib.

After doing some quick online research of pad dimensions, I ordered a cheap set of Mustang 6-piston brake pads from one of my shop's warehouse suppliers to check the pad shape against a used 350mm Cayenne S brake disc that I had saved for test-fitting on my 951. It fits quite well!

I think I'll order a set of the calipers for test-fitting, but the downside is that while one would assume that every track pad compound under the sun would be available for this caliper (being a popular option on the popular Mustang platform), I was surprised to find that some racing pad staples such as the PFC 11, Ferodo Racing DS3.12, and relative newcomers like the EBC SR11 and SR21 are not available for this pad shape . . .
