I don't see the caliper brackets in the picture or listed in the description details. The bolts shouldn't be more than a few dollars if they are one time use.

If you look hard enough you can find some good deals. Exhaust your options! Craiglist...ebay...MF classifieds and others...

I strongly advise against this method. If you are upgrading to the GT brakes use a GT caliper and brackets! Caliper move out kits like you are talking about are dangerous. By using a caliper move out kit, you actually harm braking performance. Brake move out kits disrupt the braking bias of the car, I know many people use them but they are actually proven to increase stopping distance in many applications.

Just letting you know, the rotors for sale here on the forums are PowerStop brand rotors, they are a well known name in the performance brake industry, they are not some off brand name rotors like i think you're thinking. They are made from North American Castings and machined\plated in Chicago. People here run them (i have already sold 10 sets to forum members) and the Kinetic line we sell on ebay sells at least one set a day (Kinetic is also made by Powerstop however it uses China castings). The Mustang is one of our most popular applications and we never get complaints. Feel free to contact me with any questions. 708-308-3802.

go look at your car or any car. This is also how known issue start. People make mistake and lead others to think its an issue.

The hub, rotor and wheel can move independently of the spindle/brake
caliper.They rotate around the spindle bearings. Get ANY play in the
spindle bearings and the hub, rotor and wheel can move independently
from the spindle/brake caliper/brake caliper bracket. Then there will
\be an interference situation. Go look at your car.
You are the one leading the blind down the road to destruction.....
Issues start when issues occure.

Yea I am not sure when I messaged them they said this "The bracket that hold the pads and mounts to the spindle is included"
