Might try Summit's tech line as they are still selling SSBC kits I'll have to give that a shot. Small bolt pattern? Why not track down an oem Kelsey Hayes set?
You can do a mustang rotor swap and move to the larger bolt pattern as well. Why? Because the brand new, in the box, dual bolt pattern, SSBC kit came with the car when I bought it.

I'm going to guess the rotors were off the shelf 4.5" pattern re-drilled for the 4" pattern. What there original application was may be a bit more difficult. Sometimes there are casting numbers on the rotors and or calipers to give you a start. Pictures of the calipers may help. They typically liked using GM single piston calipers but not always Don't know if their facebook page is still active but that may be another potential source of info.

That's a terrible choice. Their customer service is beyond horrid. Most unprofessional company I ever dealt with in the automotive world. I took off my Wilwoods and put Aerospace on the street car and Strange on the race car.

I took off my Wilwoods and put Aerospace on the street car and Strange on the race car. I hate to hear that, however I run a 20 year old willwood kit on the front of my car and last year I put a kit on the rear when i swapped to a Dana 60. Everything fits great and works great so I have had no need for customer service.

67 mustangs also used 4 piston calipers, might be worth doing a comparison. Again look for any numbers cast or stamped into the components. We run into this on a semi regular basis when a customer buys a car and gets no documentation. We then have to become detectives I hate having to do that. Yeah, that's why I try to document all mods on my cars or bikes so, if down the road I decide to sell, the new owner isn't screwed trying to figure things out. The chances of you wearing the rotors out are probably pretty slim unless you road race or drive a lot. have you contacted Summit yet ? True or at least it's going to a be long while. Car will be a somewhat daily driver and occasionally a car show or trip to the strip. I just always worry about replacement parts! I haven't contacted Summit yet.

I've posted this elsewhere but not having any luck so far.
Does anyone know what OEM application(s) the brake rotors and calipers cross over to on their A153 kit? Hmm, might be good to know what hoses cross over to as well. I have confirmed the D11 brake pads but that's it.
I have a still new in the box conversion for my '68 Barracuda. I haven't installed as I have been worried about replacement parts since SSBC is no more. Any help would be greatly appreciated! A majority of the Mopar SSBC front and rear disc brake kits utilize early-late Ford Mustang/ Lincoln/ Mercury/Turbo Coupe Thunderbird components, stock or modified for the SSBC kits A little research will yield you the components you require, you can source the rotors for your application from Summit Racing PN#s BR61053 for "stock replacement" rotors, if you have/desire drilled/slotted rotors PN# BR61053LC Note: the Summit rotors will be in the stock Ford/L/M 4.5" BC, you'll need to have them drilled for the Mopar 4" BC depending on your SSBC A153-/1/2/3 kit designation (application is 1965-67 Ford/Mercury) Calipers are 65-67 Ford Mustang Kelsey Hayes 4 piston, readily available from many sources, if you have the SSBC proprietary cast 4 piston aluminum calipers your SOL (source:used/rebuilt/Ebay/etc)...however the Ford 65-67 Mustang KH 4 piston calipers are an bolt on alternate source Pads are D11 or Bendix SBC11 Mike

A customer put SSBC on his Charger, the car doesn't stop with two feet on the pedal! Another friend has them, similar issue. Do Not Use! Incidentally, the systems had had extensive hours invested to figure out why, master sizing, master replaced anyhow, new lines, prop valve, pressure tested at wheels etc, Put Wilwood kits on and stops very well. * I do not buy 4 piston stuff for front, pads are way too small for a street or road race car - IMHO
I recently had to call Wilwood about incorrect packaged parts, they were very helpful and fixed issue right away.
