This matched pair of rear calipers with mounting brackets from PowerStop is sized for the 1994–2004 Ford Mustang and finished in red powder coat. It is a replacement for worn rear calipers, and the red finish gives the rear end a visible performance accent. A powder-coated housing helps keep bare metal from rusting when exposed to road moisture and salt, and ordering a pair keeps both rear sides matched when you upgrade.
Fitment matters here because the rear calipers on these Mustangs also house the parking brake. Owners on user forums describe a cable that pulls a lever on the caliper, so the cable end and its retaining clip must move over from the old unit. Before buying, confirm your exact model year, trim, and rear brake setup, and check that the brackets and bleeder screw location match the calipers you are removing.
Treat this as a full rear brake service rather than a quick swap. Owners on user forums warn that brake fluid is corrosive to paint, and they recommend bleeding each caliper you open before the wheel goes back on, starting at the passenger rear. Keywords for this part include 1994-2004 Mustang rear calipers with brackets, red powder coat Mustang rear calipers, S4824 rear brake calipers, Mustang parking brake caliper, and Mustang rear caliper bleed order.
Owners on user forums describe the rear parking brake as a cable that pulls a lever on the caliper. When swapping calipers, the cable end must be disconnected from that lever, and the cable boss must be secured to the new caliper with its retaining C-clip.
Owners on user forums report that the piston on these integrated parking-brake calipers may need a slight twist to come free rather than a straight push. Confirm the procedure with the manufacturer before proceeding.
Owners on user forums consistently list the order as passenger rear, passenger front, driver rear, then driver front. Top off the brake fluid reservoir between wheels so air does not get drawn back into the system.
Replacing rear calipers involves the brake line, the parking brake cable connection, and a full bleed, so it is best suited to a DIYer with brake experience. Owners on user forums advise keeping brake fluid off the paint and bleeding every caliper you open before refitting the wheel. Air in the system affects pedal feel and braking performance, so verify a firm pedal before driving the car.
