I'm going to be ordering my front sway bar from Saleen soon and have been eyeing these as well. They are for the front wheels, corret? Also do you guys think its worth it to get and put on a V6 or is it justa waste of $?

You probably already know but I pretty sure you need 17 inch wheels for the GT calipers.

They're bigger than the stock v6 so I wouldnt say it's a waste of money exactly.. I dont think I could really compare the two straight up though..

And, as has been said, you'll need atleast 17" wheels for them to fit.

I would say waste of money. If they are the rears, they are the exact same. If they are the fronts you'll go from an 11.8" disc to a 12.4" disc. I highly doubt you're going to feel a difference, they're just a bit beefier due to the heavier GT, but the exact same overall design.

The GT and V6 share the same front calipers. The ONLY difference is the caliper bracket and the rotor size.

It's not a huge upgrade, but I'm doing it on my car. I got a set from Saleen back when they were only 49 bucks [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banana.gif[/img]

baer sells a plus 2 kit for 550 , which includes an extended braket and the eradispeed aluminum hat slotted and drilled rotor in 14 inches. As far as high end brake systems prices are concerned this upgrade is pretty reasonable, together with better pads and ss lines it should be a great improvement.
