Performance caliper ?

i need new front caliper sand can’t find any aftermarket performance ones. Does anyone know if any are available? Please don’t suggest powerstop as they are just stock rebuilt with red paint.

Generally speaking, you won't find a "performance" caliper, without going to a big brake kit.

ya I searched a ton.. I saw the big brake kits but way too much cash. I’m waiting on ebc rotors and pads arriving from summit tomorrow, wanted to add a decent caliper as I always try and replace needed repairs with upgrades. Oh well guess I’m stuck with the ford tempo quality calipers lol

Talk to R1 concepts. They are a forum vendor. They may have a less expensive big brake kit.

There is a big brake kit for these and they're pretty common, also a little cheaper vs the crap that most F150's are blessed with. Haven't you searched ?

He did, but said it was "way too much cash".... can't do much to help him here. He's already ordered stock replacement rotors and pads.

Really, wow. Can't help I guess. The parts aren't that much cheaper, but they are indeed cheaper. I have a 98 too.

Ahh well...too late. Asking first has it's benefits.

Do you know what would be different about a "performance" caliper compared to a stock one? Cooling fins? The calipers, master cylinder, booster, rotor and pads all work together, as a system. What, exactly, would the "upgrade" be?
