Default GT500 brake conversion

Where is a good place to find GT500 brake take-offs? Not looking to spend 4k on a new kit.

newtakeoff.com or check one of the shelby forums out.

FYI, buying them new only runs between $1000-1400 depending on where you go.

GT-500 brake kits are not that expensive, however they don't fit under stock wheels, even if you have the 18". GT-500's have different rim offset to accommodate those big rotors.

Got mine from someone on the Team Shelby Forums for $400. Brand new they run between 1000 - 1300.

Thanks guys I'll keep an eye out. My rims are 18x9 with 99-04 offsets, so I don't think I'll have any clearance problems.
