Default question for those that converted to GT brakes

I want to convert my front brakes with the gt set. I am told I need brackets so that the larger rotors will fit.

Does anyone know what brackets and the part numbers so I can order?

All the take off kits you see come with the brackets............they are stamped GT, you cannot use your 16" wheel though.........you need to go 17" or larger....with the GT front brakes......
When they take these kits off to use a different set up, the Ford Brackets won't work with the Saleen or whatever they are using calipers............I have not seen the bracket NOT come with the kit........

Cheers!!

Eddie

P.S. They work nicely though......they are not Brembo, but they work better than the V6 brakes.

That is correct, just use the brackets on your exsisting calipers as they are the same, just change rotors and brackets................
