Default 6-Piston Brembos

Anyone take the plunge and install the 2013 GT500 brakes on a GT? I have the Brembo brake package, but am looking at the AmericanMuscle package: http://www.americanmuscle.com/frpp-6...-kit-0514.html

Will it even be that big of a difference? Looking for any possible feedback.

Big difference visually of course. Braking power will only be able to be fully used if you get rid of the stock pads that are used on the GT500. There is a significant difference in overall stopping power once you switch over, but I'd suggest getting a new pad with a higher coefficient of friction to really let those things stop on a dime.

Planning on doing this upgrade myself, good choice. Use our coupon codes for Black Friday to get the best pricing on it. Call me up or check the link below (714.582.3330 extension 8002, or ask for Jurrian):

Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any questions on it

I had a similar system on my previous car that was made by Rotora.
Made an insane difference over the OEM brakes!

Sure, its expensive... But I say its worth it!
Nothing worse than brake fade from the OEM setup!
