2011 Brembo Package ? ? ? What all included
What does the Brembo package include?
I know 14" Brembo front brakes and 19" wheels w/summer tires.
Different springs, sway bars, struts and shocks ? ? ?
I also read the Brembo calipers can not be rebuilt.
The dealer was no help . . .

Can get rebuild components (Dust boots, pressure seals) from Zeckhausen Racing http://www.zeckhausen.com/. It is the Brembo F50 caliper, judging from what I saw in pics and at Barrett Jackson.

As I understand it the suspension components are the same as on the non-Brembo GTs, however the ESC has been recalibrated, much like the track pack from 2010. Someone correct me if I am mis-informed.

I would like to know as well. I am interested to know what all is included in the Brembo package as I am not crazy about the wheels that come with it. Can they be swapped out with any of the other wheels offered?

You just get the 19x9.0 wheels, summer tires and Brembo brakes. All the suspension components from the 2010 Track Pack are standard on all 2011 GT's. I think you need to get the 3.73 rear axle in order to get the tuned ESC.
As far as I know you cannot swap out the wheels with any others.

The 19 X 9 look good, but I prefer a light 18 X 9.5 square setup, running 275/40/18 rubber.

Here's some info from groot, as he posted on another board last week:
Also, talking about lap times at Laguna:

Marketing does not want it called "track pack".... it does include Brembos, which the 2010 did not, maybe that's why.... not sure.

Since the 2011 Order Guide states that the Brembo package is not available on the GT/CS would it even be possible to add the Brembos later, considering that the GT/CS comes with 19x8.5 wheels? I'm thinking I would go with the GT/CS and upgrade the brakes and tires when the original tires and/or brakes wear out. Would probably be ready for a performance tuner by then as well so tire size changes would not be an issue.
If the Brembos are the same as on the GT500 then those wheels should work as well, no?

Depends on the offset and thickness of the inner rim. The GT500 has had 18" wheels since it was released, but they were 18x9.5" with a different offset. It would make sense that if 18" GT500 wheels clear them, then 19" wheels should. But it's not that simple; even the 20" Razors have two different offsets for the front size on S197s. One clears the Brembos, one doesn't.

What makes the ESC tuning for the Brembo package unique? Is it specifically for the summer-only tires? Or does it simply lessen computer intervention during aggresive driving?
