Endless Brake Pads for S197 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 2013-2014
Endless’s Brake Pads for S197 Ford Mustang Shelby GT500 2013-2014 fit the six-piston Brembo front calipers Ford gave the last S197 GT500, the 5.8-liter supercharged car that closed out the generation. Endless supplies the front as RCP112, its Brembo shape also listed for the Lexus IS F and the 2018-on Subaru WRX STI, and lists no rear pad, so this listing covers the front axle. Every street compound costs the same for this shape, so pick by use: SSS or SSM Plus for the road, MX72 Plus for track days on street tires, CC-Rg for regular circuit work.
Features
- Endless front pad shape RCP112 for the six-piston Brembo front calipers
- SSS, SSM Plus, MX72, MX72 Plus and CC-Rg, all at one price
- Racing options: an eight-compound Racing Group, W003, the S330 Group with S330 and TQB, and MA45B
- Sold for the front axle, each set covering both front wheels
Choosing a Compound
Endless prices all five street compounds the same for RCP112, so price never decides the choice on this GT500. SSS and SSM Plus suit a car kept for the road and keep the wheels clean, MX72 and MX72 Plus suit fast road driving and track days on street tires, and CC-Rg suits a GT500 at the circuit most months. Among the racing options, TQB in the S330 Group is the Endless compound aimed at heavier cars running racing ABS, which makes it a natural candidate for a GT500 built for competition. W007 and W008, which Endless prices for RCP112, are left off because Endless designs both for carbon ceramic rotors, and the GT500 runs iron rotors.
Every figure below is Endless’s own. Friction is the compound’s average friction coefficient, so a higher number gives more bite for the same pedal pressure. The rotor range is the band of rotor temperatures Endless designs the compound to work in, so choose by the temperatures your car will see.
Street and street-to-track compounds
- SSS (street): non-asbestos; friction 0.38-0.45; rotor range 0-480C (32-896F). Low wear, long rotor life, a strong initial response and exceptionally low dust, built for road and highway driving.
- SSM Plus (street): non-asbestos; friction 0.33-0.40; rotor range 0-550C (32-1022F). Low dust, low noise and long life. Braking builds with pedal pressure rather than a sharp first bite, for drivers who want clean wheels and a quiet car.
- MX72 (street to light track): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.37-0.47; rotor range 50-700C (122-1292F). Minimal noise and dust, strong friction at low temperatures, reduced rotor wear and a better pedal feel than a typical semi-metallic pad. Endless’s dual-duty compound for a road car that sees the occasional track day.
- MX72 Plus (street to circuit): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.39-0.47; rotor range 50-750C (122-1382F). Holds its braking force to higher temperatures than MX72, with stable control and a consistent pedal release. Endless aims it at cars on street tires that run on track.
- CC-Rg (track day, street capable): ceramic carbon metal; friction 0.38-0.45; rotor range 50-800C (122-1472F). High initial bite across a wide temperature range, even when cold, and modulation that works with the factory ABS under hard use. Endless notes it is noisy on the street; it is the step up from MX72 Plus for regular track days.
Racing compounds
Each option below is one choice in the Choose Compound menu. For a group, name your compound in the order notes and Bulletproof Automotive confirms it with your order. Every racing compound needs Endless’s bedding procedure: at 70 to 80 percent of normal pedal effort, bring the rotors gradually to 400C (752F), then let them cool below 150C (302F) before hard use.
Racing Group
- ME22: dual braking style; friction 0.33-0.38; rotor range 150-800C (302-1472F). Developed from ME20 with lower friction for control, for light to mid-weight cars or heavier cars on slower circuits. Endless rates it for street and track.
- ME20: trail-braking style; rotor range 150-800C (302-1472F). High, stable friction at high temperature with low wear, developed for touring cars and rally. Works front or rear, with stock or racing ABS.
- N35S: trail-braking style; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Quick, sharp and responsive, with stable modulation under high temperature and load. Endless’s flagship rally compound, also run in FIA GT, and its suggested starting point for drivers new to Endless racing pads.
- N05U: trail-braking style; friction 0.46-0.53; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). More bite than N35S, popular in sprint-focused Porsche Cup cars.
- N05S: trail-braking style; friction 0.45-0.53; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Immediate high friction with little pedal effort, used in Japanese rally cars without brake boosters and in European and Australian sprint racing.
- N30C: friction 0.50-0.60; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). High initial bite, gentle on rotors and low wear. A rally compound for cars without a brake booster.
- S55G: Endless publishes no figures. It suits lightweight and front-wheel-drive cars, and the rear of front-wheel-drive cars, with high controllability.
- PC35: Endless publishes no figures. More bite than N35S with high braking force and a stable pedal; Endless’s base pad for rally raid.
S330 Group
- S330: trail-braking style; friction 0.60-0.70; rotor range 300-850C (572-1562F). High friction for sprint racing, with good control at high levels and without accelerating rotor wear; run in Super GT, stock cars and GT2 and GT3 sprint racing.
- TQB: trail-braking style; friction 0.43-0.51; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). For mid to heavyweight cars that see extreme brake temperature, load and wear, and for cars with racing ABS; popular in GT2 and GT3 sprint racing.
Sold as their own options
- W003: trail-braking style; friction 0.40-0.45. Similar in character to N35S with better wear, tough and stable at high temperature with a linear torque curve; run in rally, touring cars, ALMS and PWC. Circuit only: Endless does not recommend it for the street and notes high rotor wear when cold.
- MA45B: standard braking style; rotor range 300-800C (572-1472F). Endless’s endurance compound: low friction but stable for a whole race, with excellent heat resistance and wear. Most Nurburgring and Spa 24 Hours entrants run it.

Notes
- Each Front set of Brake Pads for S197 Shelby GT500 cars from 2013 and 2014 covers both wheels on the front axle
- This listing covers the front axle only, as Endless lists no rear pad for this GT500
- For the 2013 and 2014 GT500 with six-piston Brembo front calipers. The 2007 to 2012 GT500 takes Endless EIP111, sold separately.
- Not for the 2020 to 2022 Shelby GT500, whose Brembo front brakes use larger 420mm rotors
- For the factory Brembo calipers; a car converted to an aftermarket big brake kit takes the pads for those calipers
Frequently Asked Questions
- Do the Endless Brake Pads for S197 GT500 2013 to 2014 fit the 2007 to 2012 car? No. The 2007 to 2012 GT500 has four-piston Brembo front calipers, and Endless lists its EIP111 shape for that car, sold separately. The Endless Brake Pads for S197 cars on this page are the RCP112 shape for the six-piston Brembo calipers Ford fitted to the 2013 and 2014 GT500.
- Do these pads fit the 2020 Shelby GT500? No. The 2020 to 2022 GT500 uses a larger Brembo front system with 420mm rotors, and Endless does not list RCP112 for it. These pads are for the six-piston calipers of the 2013 and 2014 car. Send Bulletproof Automotive a photo of the calipers if you are unsure which system a car has.
- Why do all the street compounds cost the same? Endless prices SSS, SSM Plus, MX72, MX72 Plus and CC-Rg identically for the RCP112 shape, so the choice comes down to how the GT500 is used rather than budget. SSS and SSM Plus suit the road, MX72 and MX72 Plus suit spirited driving and track days, and CC-Rg suits regular circuit use.
- Which compound suits a GT500 on a road course? MX72 Plus suits a GT500 on street tires at occasional track days, and Endless rates it to 750C, or 1382F. CC-Rg extends the range to 800C, or 1472F, bites hard even when cold and is developed to work with ABS, though it is noisy on the road. Prepared cars move to the Racing Group, W003, the S330 Group or MA45B.
- What is in the Racing Group for this GT500? Eight Endless racing compounds: ME22, ME20, S55G, N35S, N05U, N05S, PC35 and N30C. Bulletproof Automotive confirms the compound named in your order notes. W003, the S330 Group with S330 and TQB, and MA45B are sold as their own options, and each racing compound needs the Endless bedding procedure before hard use.

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.
Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only.

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well.
For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at
