Default brembo brake package for automatic?

do they happen to offer the brembo brake package for a 2012 automatic GT? I am in the market for a new GT and because my right shoulder tends to dislocate very often i decided i would be buying an automatic.
if not do you think if i ordered the car from the factory do you think i could get this option?
thank you

You'd have to install it yourself and make sure to buy wheels that clear the brakes.

Here's a kit that costs only $1150 new. Pretty good deal.

That is a great deal, especially considering it includes the SS lines and a set of 4 pads!

I use the GT500 pads from my set in the winter and Carbotech track pads in the summer.

As mentioned, make sure your wheels will fit over the front Brembo calipers. The shelby 500 and GT Mustang optional Brembo 19" wheels will. The other Mustang and most after-market wheels will not. Just a heads up. Also, from Sleeper, you will have to do the double wheel change on the front in the event of a flat. And don't drive far with the dough-nut on the rear to avoid differential damage. You may wish to purchase an inflation repair kit or buy the Shelby one.

Cheers.

Cheers.
