those are good imo ^ you need 19 inch front wheels to fit them though

No,you don't i run 18" AM wheels ,Change your pads to better set.

Flat out

you could do this.

it says right in the link that they require 19 inch wheels

" This Ford Racing brake upgrade kit is designed for use with ABS-equipped 2005 to 2014 V8 Mustangs only, including the GT, Bullitt, BOSS, and Shelby GT500. Requires the use of 19" or larger rims for proper clearance.

The brembo kit listed here is pretty much as good as it gets. It's going to run you quite a bit - $1800 - but compared to $1200 for the other Brembo kit it's a deal.

As said above, you will need AT LEAST 19" wheel and even then some 19" wheels probably won't be able to fit these. Make sure you have the space inside the wheel before ordering them or you will be sorry.

I personally went with the 4-pot fronts but I got mine from a salvage GT500 and only paid $600 for them, I spent the extra $600 to get the Baer Eradispeed 14" rear offset kit with the 2-piece rotor and I will be ordering 2-piece front rotors soon to match.

Maybe you are thinking of the 4-pot Brembo system, but this is the 6-pot 15" Brembo system. I barely fit the 4-pot inside my Series 1 Ultra-lites and they are some of the roomiest 18" wheels you can get.

You can find some of the 6 pot setups on ebay for around 1200$ slightly used.

They go on a 200 mph capable stock car, you really probably arent going to need brakes this good. Stopping hard with good tires gives me a headache with the normal non-brembo GT brakes lol.

If all you really need is better braking performance on the street for a 4.6L car, you can get that with just a more aggressive pad choice and fresh plain rotors in the OE sizes.

"Streetable" lower-level XP track pads, Centric rotors, and Motul RBF600 brake fluid is all I've done to the brakes on my '08 GT, and I'm outbraking most of the other cars that show up in my (intermediate) run groups at various road course track days without much pedal effort required, and I do drive with them on the street. I've put "streetable" in quotes because that does depend on you having some tolerance for more dust and occasional noise, and an awareness that cold bite can sometimes be a bit "soft" until a little heat is built up.

For street driving only, you would probably be better served with a less aggressive than track pad, something in a performance street such as Carbotech's Bobcat/1521 or their AX6 autocross pad. Carbotechs do seem to go easy on rotors, unlike Hawks in HP+ or higher that wear rotors much more rapidly.
