2012 Brake Upgrade
#21
I would want to know that this upgrade will accept the brembo gt500 blanks however, as that would be the cheapest route considering rotors are a wear item.
I wouldn't want to be locked in to having to use the expensive baer pieces.

Well, I was a year later, apparently my source didn't consider Ford's odd MY/CY setup for dating. The Brembos (from the 2010 GT500) will be an option on the 2011 GT. The GT500 will get its own set of bigger ones, quite possibly as a standalone option or even part of the SVT performance package that has been broken.

ECI if you need better brakes, get some better pads in there. Fortunately, there is a wide selection available for the 4-piston Brembo caliper:

So, this is coming back from the dead, but I recently talked to my sources, and I was told the wrong information initially. Now the rumor is 380mm rotors on the GT500. I'd also guess a new larger caliper with the extra surface area.

Wow eci. Where's he been?? That's about 15" correct? If they do that, then they should make the 14" Brembos standard on the GT and 13.2" GT brakes standard on the V6.
