So what's the question again?

As far as the fronts go, you should be straight with the brakes that come on it. As for the rears however, if I'm not mistaken the GT 500 has the same rears as the Mustang GT, in which case you can head over to Steeda and buy some slotted rotors and some upgraded pads, or just buy a rear upgrade kit for an arm and a leg...

Dunno, unless you're planning on road coursing the car I can't see why you'd need all that stopping power and longevity...

They are overrated and you stand a chance on having unwanted
pedal shake from aftermarket rotors.
What, the Brembos not good enough for you?

Haha....the Brembo's definitely have more of a "grab" than our stock brakes on our GT's.

I love the braking power don't get me wrong, but the look just isn't aggressive enough for me.

Compare this which was recently featured in several car magazines:




to this:



The later looks like a joke.

if you're doing it for looks, go ahead, but if you're doing it for braking performance, save your money

Not so much for looks more because I puke every time I see my car's wheels.
