Default What is needed to have 2011 5.0 Brembo Brakes on my 06 GT

So I know I need the 2011 Brembo Brake Rotor (which I can pickup anywhere like AM)

I'll end up buying some hawk track pads for the brembo's as well.

What else do I need to convert my 06 GT Front Brake to the Brembo's on the front, from the 2011 5.0?

I also plan on buying stainless steel brake lines which would be off a 2011-2014 5.0 off american muscle as well correct?

The calipers and more than likely the caliper brackets, not sure if they are the same.

GCCBrian,

Good question and your best bet would be to check out the Brembo GT500 Brake Kit for your Mustang as it'll include everything needed to get you stopping on a dime!

(2) 14" Slotted Rotors
(2) Red 2-pc, 4-piston Aluminum Calipers
(2) Street/Autocross Pads (one set, for both calipers)
(2) Braided Stainless Steel Brake Lines
Bolts
Mounting Brackets
All necessary hardware

They really fill out behind an aftermarket wheel nicely. Here's a picture submitted from one of our customers behind their 2010 GT500 wheels:



There's also a great review over on the product page as well. Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any questions and I'm here to help.

I did a 2011-2014 13.3" brake swap on my 05 GT. Got all four rotors, pads, front calipers and brackets for $250 from Roush. These were not the larger "Brembo" stamped parts but were still larger and less than getting bigger brakes any other way. The only difference between our 2005-2010 brakes and the 2011-2014 standard GT brakes are the brackets and the rotors. The calipers have a different part number but when comparing them side by side they were the same so rotors and brackets are what it comes down to.
