Excuse if already seen or posted, but I just noticed that Ford Racing is offering the 15" Brembo 6-piston GT500 brakes with 13.8" Rears, and at a very reasonable $2200 street price to boot.

daaaaaamn! nice. overpriced, but nice.

 

Where else can you get a pair of new 6-piston calipers on 15" discs, plus a rear upgrade up to 13.8" for less than $2200???

Nooooooiiiice!

 

I knew they'd come out with this kit eventually.

Wonder if those brakes will fit inside the GT Brembo wheels?

I saw a take off set of the front 6 piston brakes on ebay a while back for like $900.

 

I have the Brembo wheels, and am wanting to use these wheels as well if they fit.

According to the Ford Racing Website and install docs, the 19" Black Track Pack wheels will fit (same as production Brembo wheel), though when you look at the Black Track Pack wheels on the Ford Racing Parts website, it states it won't fit the 2013 GT500, which is a little conflicting.

I called the Ford Racing techline this morning and asked about the conflict, as I cannot think of any reason why the 2013 GT500 would be any different up front than a GT with the identical brakes, but they did not have an answer and said they would have to follow-up with engineering to clarify.

Additionally, I called Late Model Restoration, but they've only installed the one 15" kit on their personal car that runs RTR wheels with no clearance issues.

Technically, if the Track Pack wheels clear the 15" brakes, they should also work on the 2013-14 GT500 as well, but if the Track Pack wheels truly won't work on a GT500, then it would be logical that the Brembo and Track Pack wheels won't clear the 15" brakes.

 

Dang it thats a great price for what you get! Too bad my mod bug is coming to a halt.

 

But this brake kit IS the 13-14 GT500 brakes, exactly the same parts so if they fit one then they will fit both the kit brakes and the GT500.

 

I am all over that 15" kit. Currently trying to get my dealer to add this to my car at the website's price. They've been very flexible on pricing on other FRPP items, so my fingers are crossed. That kit, with the brake cooling kit and you'll have fade-free braking all day at the track!!!

This is why Mustangs rule over Camaros! The aftermarket is awesome!!!

 

Check out the PDF Instruction Sheet on www.fordracingparts.com. It'll show you the required wheels for the kit. It lists FRPP part number and the Brembo Package Wheels are one of them. Besides, one needs 19" for 15" brakes and the Brembo Pkg Wheels clear big brake calipers already. You'll be good to go.

 

I'm with ya, but if you look at the Ford Racing Parts website for the 19" Black Track Pack wheels, same as factory 19" Brembo wheels, it states that it does NOT fit the 2013 GT 500, which we know comes with the 15" Brembo brakes. Which is accurate, the wheels notes, or the 15" brake kit notes?

Sorry, I've been seeing a lot of people getting scammed lately on other forums

 

What's this about in reference to this thread?

 

Random. I would just like the rear upgrade separately since I like the fronts already. I might change the color for the fronts though. They are too subdued for my taste. Kind of like the size of the rears. What were they thinking exactly? I think that for the TP cars and above they shouldn't have skimped on the rears.

 

It's because the front brakes handle the vast majority of the vehicle's braking. That's why, in comparison to the front brakes, they're undersized. The only reason SVT went with larger Ø rear rotors on the 2013-14 GT500 is because of aesthetics; the 2010-12's rear rotors (which were the same size as the GT's) were dwarfed by the 15" front rotors.

I think the 15", six-piston Brembo brakes look fine with otherwise-stock Ø rear rotors, but I may be a bit biased.

 

*** UPDATE ***

Looks like Ford Racing Parts has retracted the Brembo/Track Pack wheel from wheels that will fit the 15" Brake kit.

I called and questioned them twice since the Track Pack wheel states that the Track Pack wheel will NOT fit the 2013+ GT500, which are the same 15" brakes, and therefore removed the wheels from the website's approved wheels.

 

Are your wheels 19s or 20s ? They look very nice!
