Definitive answer:

No bracket necessary. They bolt directory to the steering knuckle. Unlike the stock floating calipers that only have pistons on one side and require a bracket so the calipers can float, the Brembos do not float and have pistons on both sides of the caliper, hence no bracket.

Wow! That Ford racing kit is a killer deal! $2k for four 20" GT500 wheels, rotors, sheilds, steel brake lines and GT500 calipers. Wish I was flush...I'd pop that cork.

@Nice Pony. That's what I've been looking to hear!!

I was guessing that since NONE of the GT500 kits come with them that they aren't needed.

I found a Ford part Cr3z 2b 292b that I thought may be it. But they're 80 bucks a pop, so I've been putting it off.
