The calipers I think are the same, so I would say yes to them. The rotors increased from 12.4" to 13.2", so i would say no for the rotors.

Hmm, actually now that I think about it, I think the GT500 kit that will fit on a 05-10 will fit on the 2011's, so that makes me wonder if the caliper mounts may actually be the same, and the difference might be in the caliper itself to accomodate the larger rotor size. In that case, I'd say that if you swap both the 13.2" rotor and the 2011 caliper over, it should work.

And since I'm just spitballin' here I would definitely back that up with another source before doing anything.

Well i just ordered a set of 2011 Gt new take off front rotors (less than 50 miles stated as usual), brake pads and calipers with brackets for 140$ shipped on ebay. There is one set left if anyone is interested. Or you can wait for me to recieve mine to see if it fits XD. At that price i could not pass that up.

This can't be right, I just checked www.fordparts.com and it says the brakes (rotors, calipers, etc.) are the same part numbers for a 2011 (base) GT and a 2007 GT. If the rotors increased in size shouldn't they have a different part number?

very odd because 2011 Gt is 5.0 only right? The 5.0 received the rotor increase so that definitely cant be right. :O
