In fact, I fired one that had managed to squeak out over 8 years because other managers would just transfer him to a different store rather than do their jobs. Assholes.

    I'll look tomorrow, David, but I doubt that is available in the aftermarket yet.

    David, you can also look it up online at O'rielly, napa, etc. Unfortunately, I worked parts for many years, and it was very hard to find good help, as it doesn't pay very well.

    Sorry, no hookups here.
    I always lol at the "can't find good help" routine. I applied at my local parts stores, never got a response and I know the managers. Hell, I practically know where everything in the store is and help people when the counter workers are stumped. Seems to me that they like hiring the people that are fucking morons.

    David you should have known your conversations were going to go the same way they did on Saturday looking for a Y pipe.

    Us: Can you make me a simple Y? 3.5" in and out.
    Muffler shop: What is it going on? You need to bring it to us so we can do it.
    Us: NO

    rock-auto.com ?

    They are listing the caliper for around $100.

    If you fuck up the order its really is your fault, and you dont have to put your life in danger going to the hood.

The fronts of course show different and they do not carry the fronts for the GT500 for future reference..This was using an Alldata driven lookup. It could be wrong because I am not sure if the cars share the same rear set ups or not.


    if its like the 94-04, the rear are interchangeable. The difference is in the bracket and the piston material

    LMAO
    Know the area well.

    Also, Keith (KBScobravert) and had a great idea. Call a Ford house and see if they'll warrant it.

    I'll try that first thing in the morning.

    S&S is alright man. When I used to wrench at my dad's place, I'd pass up an oriellys and autozone to get to S&S. They have so good stuff. My first experience was when I was trying to find an ignition for my malibu.

    Went to Oriellys, because I didnt know any better. I saw it on the screen. "Chrome ignition $30".... "Black ignition $-".
    Hating chrome, and about to switch to black interior I was excited to inquire about the black one. The parts guy said "No can do man, police car part only" Weird as shit. Another customer over heard, and referred me down the road. Boom, $10 black ignition. Couldn't have been happier.
    Knowledgeable part guys, they have many many part numbers memorized, and they wont ask your who makes a mustang.

    This is the part i was getting at.
    Very doubtful this part will be available as anything other than OEM, or an upgrade over OEM.
