I put the GT500 rear rotors and carbotech pads on my 2011 GT after a brake failure. Now, under 4000 miles later, the pads are almost down to the metal and my rotors are so worn I'm worried I might need to replace them. It was suggested to me that the larger rotors require a different parking brake cable, but I can't find any good information on whether or not that's the case, or if I need to get deeper with my troubleshooting. Any ideas?
Is there a difference between the 2011 GT and GT500 parking brake cable?

Same numbers no matter if it is a V6, GT, Boss or GT500. It wouldn't matter as much since the rear caliper is mounted on the front of the rear axle.
That makes sense. I was imagining (as I haven't had my car in the air to check) the cable running to the axle, then to the caliper, so I didn't consider where the caliper is. Thanks for confirming what I thought I had figured out, that the part numbers were the same. Hopefully an adjustment is all I need.
Negative, there is a split in the cable off the handle assembly and then the cables run directly to the rear. They loop through the holes in the lower arms on mine.
