Brake upgrade for my 2008 GT500 - GT350R conversion

Sneak peak of some upgrades to my ‘08. GT350R conversion using the kit from Full Tilt Boogie Racing (front brakes ducts as well). Install by Power By The Hour as always (excellent shop I've used for years). More pics to come once I get the car back.

Is that the GT350 caliper?

Yup, 2018 GT350R front conversion (rotors/calipers) using the Full Tilt Boogie Racing kit. 2014 GT500 on the rear with DBA rotors.

Oh god. I now need this in my life. Thanks.

That looks good. Does it work plug and play? Is this Brake upgrade lighter than the 2008 stock Brembo?
What suspension do you have?

Interested in the rear setup... I don't see that on their site.

Id say install some racing harnesses to keep you in your seat when those world stoppers engage. But judging by the brake ducting hanging out there, I get the feeling your all set in that department, lol.

I have the 2014 GT500 rears that I sourced from Shelby via their eBay sight not Full Tilt Boogie...bought the DBA rotors direct. No need for $2000 rear calipers. Will post pics when I can.

Yes, Full Tilt Boogie Racing sells the entire kit just verify fitment with whatever rims you are running. I have 20x10 Alcoa's up front and 20x11.75 in the rear. No idea on weights of the calipers. Front rotors are 4lbs heavier. Massive difference in stopping power though...they dwarf the stock 4 piston Brembo's and rotors.

Suspension -
Ford Racing springs
Koni Yellow struts
QA1 rear shocks
Maximum Motorsport’s bump steer kit
Steeda balljoints
Griggs torque arm
Maximum Motorsports HD rear lower control arms
2014 GT500 strut top hats
Kenny Brown weld-in frame rails and frame connectors
Probably some other stuff I can’t remember right now
