Default GT take off rear brake kits?

hey guys, i want to upgrade my brakes, doesnt need to be fancy.i was just thinking GT brakes, buuuuuut i cant find rear brake takeoffs. i can find front brake takeoffs but not rear. and when i search i usually see alot more front brake kits, why is that? i would think if your going to do the front you would want to do the rear as well... and also why are they so expensive for like brembro and etc. a full front and rear brembro kit would be like what? 5-6K are you telling me that our brakes alone are 1/5 to 1/6 of our mustangs cost to produce?

The rears are the same on v6, gt and gt500. Thats why no one swaps them out.

really? huh, ok, what size rotors are our rears then? i want to get better looking brakes for appearance. so i was thinking of some slotted/drilled rotors and just painting the calipers.

just go to any of the vendors or ebay. There are tons of options listed by the year, not by size btw.

the rotorpros are cheap and hold up great. I have had mine for about 2 years

And you can dress up all corners with the MGP Caliper covers for a clean look on top of the drilled rotors.

sweet guys, thanks, ur gunna save me alota cash! i had no idea that the rears are the same, so i guess il just get the GT front calipers and rotors from new takeoff, then get GT drilled/slotted rotors off ebay, and those MGP covers are sweet. so r u sure the rears are the same? i just dont wanna get gt kit and have v6 rear calipers not work on gt rotors...

do you know how thick the MGP covers are? i dont know if they will clear behind my wheels? its pretty tight behind the spokes...
