sorry for my ignorance but do the 13-14 GT500's have 14" rotors on the back? Any difference in calipers on the back of the 13-14 gt500's when compared to the 07-12 GT500's?

Ford advertises the rear rotors on 13-14 Shelby's as being 14" diameter but they are actually 13.75". :read::idea:

New pic of the Brembo caliper:

Looks amazing! Anyone know if the 6 piston Brembos will clear 07-09 wheels?

Anyone have the total dollar amount for front/rear switch to the 13/14 sized brakes?

When I priced it out it was like $1500, but it depends on your dealer or if you buy take-off's from somebody here ;)

For '08-'12 you need:
- Front brake lines
- Front rotors
- Front calipers
- Front pads (if not included)
- Rear caliper adapter brackets
- Rear rotors

I would add:

- Caliper hardware (pad pins, bracket, etc.)

- I also added new factory caliper bolts as the workshop manual called for this.

Cheers,
Jeff

Ok, a nice tidy pic of all the necessary OEM parts required for the upgrade:

Will do comparison pics of each part as I move along the install too.

What backing plates did you end up using behind the rotors? I may have missed it.

The caliper to spindle bolts aren't TTY, correct? Cleaning the threads and a dab of Red Loctite should work like the SN95 cars?

You can reuse the caliper to spindle bolts. Admittedly, I never used Loctite on them and have never had a problem. I don't use it because I've had the damn things on and off quite a bit as of late.

Brembos are in the shop for a few days, should hopefully have the front done this weekend. :banana:



P.S. May I trouble you for a torque spec? :lol:

Yep, we hydro dipped these brake calipers. I just did another dipped set last week. Look for pics in another thread.

Let me know if you have any questions.

You're in Northern California right? Do you have an internet sight or a contact number? I want a few interior pieces done.

Does anyone know if this would fit on a 2013 GT/CS? 750$ for 2 6p brembo calipers sounds like a deal to me, although i would want dome cross drilled rotors to go with it and score a 10 in the looks department as well :D What do you guys think of this listing?

It will work.



And that price is too high, all that gear looks pretty well worn.
