GT500 Brembo's
Can anyone give me the scoop on the set- includes calipers, brakes, rotors. Whats the difference between the set and whats currently on my GT (stock). Also, if you have installed them, how difficult is it to install? Could I do this job in my driveway?
Also, if you have purchased them, how much did you end up paying? (Try to give me a roundabout price range for the calipers, brakes, rotors). |
here is an article on changing stock gt brakes to the 14" rotor kit on the gt500
http://www.musclemustangfastfords.co...ade/index.html You can get that ford racing brembo kit (part number M-2300-S) that includes, 14" front rotors, pads for front and rear, new calipers, hoses, and dust shield for $1500. While this kit will vastly improve your stopping power i dont think it adds much appearance wise. IMO i would invest the extra $500-700 and get cross-drilled rotors, because those look awesome too! |
I got the AP RACING Front brake kit. I CAN TELL YOU ITS WELL WORTH IT!!! Plus it comes with the drilled and slotted rotors. It is a little more money than what your thinking of but from my experience its amazing stopping power all the time.

Will I absolutely NEED the dust shield and the hoses for install?? I can pick up the calipers, rotors, and pads for the FRONT only for a bit less than $600- good deal, or should I pass?

Big Brakes
I also have a 2006 Mustang GT. I bought the Roush 14 inch front big brake kit however it is really just a relabeled StopTech kit with dustshields. It has the 2 piece front rotors which actually weighed a few pounds less the the 12 inch factory rotors at least on my bathroon scale. The 4 piston calipers are awesome!
I'm selling my car so I took off the Roush brake kit, but look on Auto trader under zip code 55044 (minnesota) for my car (listed for $19,500) with picture of it with the Roush kit. |
You really need the OEM GT500 dustshields.
The OEM GT dustshields just dont cut it. "The stock dust shield was removed and the GT500-specific one installed." |
rather then getting the dust shield, i would go with the part below
http://www.shelbyperformanceparts.co...Plate%20GT500& Its a shelby kit that will allow to you add brake ducts to your front grille. Although, when i tried to order it, it was back ordered. Ford racing has a similar kit but its more expensive. |
Trust me, the Brembo's are a PITA for brake dust!!
