IF I got a set of Brembo calipers off of a GT500 would they bolt straight up on the Bullitt? Is all I would need is the Calipers, GT500 Rotors, and pads to ahve it bolt up?

 

We have nice brakes on our Bullitts now. If you start messing with the bullitt won't that bring down it's value?

 

IIRC the Bullitt wheels will not clear the GT500 Brakes.

 

That definitely needs to be confirmed first. I've seen ads for the GT500 front brake kit that state it fits all Mustang 18" wheels and others have said it doesn't.

 

I am not too worried about value, I dont plan on selling it soon. But I do want to add a few mods to it like the GT500 brakes, Ford Racing suspension, and some pullies with a new tune. All simple stuff that can be easily returned to stock if I do decide to sell.

 

I'm looking for some bullitt brakes! PM me.

 

I wont be doing this swap anytime soon , maybe end of summer

 

Order some Bullitt front pads and the GT500 rear setup and you have it.

Get your body shop to mix up some paint in the correct shade if you want painted calipers.

 

I agree. The Bullitt brakes seem great to me

However, I have read some great information on Brembo's composite ceramic brake systems and all their products are top notch. I can see why the true performance nut would fade from the stock Bullitt brakes

 

Ford Racing says the GT500 brake kit requires GT500 wheels "or equivalent".

Ok well there goes that idea, guess ill just keep it stock on the calipers. They are the same calipers as a standard GT correct.

 

I use to spend my money in upgrades on my 07 Mustang GT ! With the Bullitt I am going to spend my money in keeping it in new condition!

 

Question is what is 'equivalent' ?

 

18 x 9.5 w/ 255s & 285.

 

That's the size but still not necessarily confirmation of brake assy fit.

 

Wow, bringing this back to surface.

I agree, this isn't the only info needed. I was wondering the same thing. Even Roush or SSBC, BAER as well. Not sure any will work with the Bullitt. Probably the GT500 wheels or the 2011 Brembo wheels. I am looking at a Bullitt and would love to do the upgrade but I suppose just new pads and possibly new rotors is as far as I can take it.

 

From what I understand, you'll need to add 1" spacers to move the stock 18" Bullitt wheels out, to clear the GT500 calipers. There are Bullitts out there with the conversion. BTW, for anyone who isn't aware, the Bullitt used the same rotors & calipers as a GT, only with the calipers done up in gray. The pads were Bullitt specific though, and can be ordered through any Ford dealer. I'm sure there are plenty of aftermarket pads just as good.

 

I was thinking of trying EBC Rotors and Yellowstuff pads as an upgrade. I love the Bullitt wheels and don't want to give them up.

 

Same here. One of the nicest "factory" wheels ever offered, if you ask me.

I heat my brakes up a bit on canyon drives, but not to the point of having any problems. Maybe about the time more used GT500 brakes show up for sale, I'll consider upgrading to them. For now though, I think stockers are fine.

 

the GT500 brakes won't fit with the stock Bullitt wheels, so you go to the 2010 SVT wheels,
