Default Brembos on a six???

so i've picked up a set of brembos off of a GT500. I took them into ford, and they bolt right up to the car and llok fantastic, however the tech said there might be some peoblem with the fact that my master cylinder and brake booster "may not put out enough pressure to close up the binders properly", also that there are dedicated brake lines on the gt and gt500 vs split lines on the 6. so im wondering if anyone else has done this swap and how it has worked with them. does anyone else think this will actually be a problem?

The guys at the dealership said they dont actually have any real hard evidence that it will happen, as they have never seen anyone who has done this swap before. I would appreciate any professional opinions or personal experince on this one. Thanks guys.

I just became a member so bear with me...

Two weeks ago I installed a set of GT500 Brembos with Hawk HPS pads and Russell SSLs. Everything went well and no problems as of yet...Knock on wood
Wow...what a difference in braking though... no fade under hard braking and its just so effortless to bring my six to a stop.

Once I figure out my way around this forum i'll load up some before and after pictures.

I'm sure that looks great with brakes that big, post up some pics if you can.

I've been running the GT500 brembo kit for a year now. No problems.
