Mustang GT3

The Mustang GT3 features a sophisticated braking system with adjustable master cylinders for both front and rear, offering precise control over brake bias beyond the standard percentage adjustment. The front and rear master cylinder sizes can be changed to alter line pressure to the calipers—larger cylinders reduce pressure and shift bias away from that axle, while smaller cylinders increase pressure and shift bias toward it. Three brake pad compounds are available: Low provides the least friction with maximum modulation, while Medium and High increase effectiveness at the cost of reduced modulation.

Brake bias should be tuned for both driver preference and track conditions, with values above 50% shifting balance forward and increasing front lock-up tendency while potentially improving stability in braking zones. The 12-position DSC system offers adjustable intervention levels, with positions 2-7 recommended for dry conditions and 8-12 for wet. Higher DSC settings reduce lockup duration but can increase braking distances if set too high for available grip.

Braking stability is heavily influenced by aerodynamic platform control during weight transfer. When rear ride height increases beyond optimal targets during braking, you'll experience both a forward balance shift and overall downforce loss—a destabilizing combination. Front camber adjustments affect longitudinal grip under braking, with higher negative camber values increasing cornering force but reducing braking performance and necessitating a rearward brake bias shift to compensate.
