The stock rotors are much smaller, you need to get the following...

1) Brembo calipers
2) Front 14" Brembo rotors
3) Front Brembo pads / Rear brake pads
4) Front dust shields (They come in a pair...)
5) Front caliper pad installation kit (This includes the pins and spring clip that hold the pads in place...)



ORIGINAL: androdz

What else did you need??? I am running 17 inch wheels and I just bought the gt500 breaks. Are you using the stock rotor??

I seriously doubt that the GT500 rotors/caliper will fit inside 17" wheels, spacers or not. You probably need 18" at least.

I would be shocked if 17"s are going to work. Keep in mind that these brakes are VERY big and even with 18" whees the radial clearance is only a few millimeters.

By the way, the GT500 factory Brembo brakes come out 10-15mm more than the Brembo aftermarket kit but do not require adapter plates...
I think it depends on the kit. The diagram for the kit I downloaded which was the cheaper (still $2100) one piece rotor setup.

It measured 47mm from the wheel mounting surface to the caliper face.

I measured the gt500 setup last night and it was within a couple mm of that.

Try Kevin Casey at

www.clevparts.com

Send him an e-mail at clevparts@aol.com.

In the subject line put the word "hotsheets gt500 brakes" or something like that. Tell him you need everything except the calipers.

But expect to wait about a month for everything at this point. But Kevins pricing is pretty good on most stuff.


DynoJoe also had some kits in stock. Not cheap, but in stock. I guess he was at MSRP or a little above.

Ok after driving a few weeks these brakes are awesome they make it a new car... I always thought the stock brakes were just adequate and I was right...
