Resonable big brake kit
I used to see the gt500 brembos for 1000-1200bux a set. Now its around 1400bux a set?
Anyone know where I can get this kit for for a more resonable price than 1400?
Im also open to sugestions.
Thanks!

The Saleen/Stoptech BB kit was the best deal around at 900 plus change.
Not sure if any sets are still available.

However I am not particularly fond of them. Mainly because of the squeaking issues. Not to mention servicability, GT500 brakes are OEM, therefore ford has to continue carrying stock as far as rotors and pads are concerned. I am unsure how long parts are going to be available for the stop-tech sourced saleen brakes.

No squeaking issues here.

Found a shop selling the ford racing kit for $1150 shiped. Looks like my bank acount is going to take another hit. This kit however I am going to have professionally installed.
By any chance, anyone know a good place to get a set of new OEM rear rotors? Also maybe this is a good time to get a set of quick bleed valves. Any ideas?

American Muscle's GT500 replicas will fit as well...and Roush Track Pack wheels, if you can find them.

I've read the 18" fan blades clear the GT500 brakes. Think I saw that on the CJ Ponys parts website.
Here's some that will also fit http://www.blueovalindustries.com/pr...p?pid=99013806 best price I found.

Killer price on those wheels, a few bucks less than what I paid for my knockoffs!
