The GT500 uses the same rear brakes we do, but with different pads.

I think Steeda makes a 13" kit and it's only $600. I think.

drilled and slotted rotors reduce braking preformance. The drilling and slotting was designed to reduce rotating weight by however much metal is removed, not improve preformance. This is a FACT.

When you go through FRPP, or any of the other retailers that sell the GT500 brake kit, they will include the rear pads. I'm not sure which brand they use, but most any aftermarket brand such as Hawk will do.

I discovered South America. This is a FACT.

see, I can do it too. [8D]

drilled and slotted may not help braking distances, but they DO help with heat dispersion and brake fade.
