gt500 brembo takeoffs on 2011 5.0

anything special I need to know to install the front brembo kit from a 2010 gt500?


or is it just a standard swap of rotors , dust shields etc.. do I need new brake lines? can I reuse the ones i have /?? thanks in advance...

sorry if this is not the right forum to post..

my car has standard brakes

I know one thing for sure. If you're running the factory stock wheels your car came with, they won't clear the Brembo's without a spacer at a minimum. I believe folks have been able to use their stock lines, but let someone who has done it chime in on that.

the good news is I have aftermarket wheels that do clear the brembos with ease.

I found a great pdf on the installation.

everything fits like a glove. thanks for everything

I'm thinking about putting GT500 brembos on my car, after you cap the line i'm sure you're going to lose some brake fluid. What is the procedure for getting pressure back into the brake lines? Simply pumping the brake and adding lost fluid?

Like the installation PDF indicates, you will need to bleed the brakes. A quickie GOogle search turned up this nice howto: http://www.corral.net/tech/maintenance/brakebleed.html

You can't half ass it like the clutch line. That alone won't get the air out. The bleeder screws must be used. Not hard if you have a buddy. Or get the tool that pumps fluid back to the master cylinder.

I was going to do this but just going with the wilwoods all four cornwrs

Yes they'll bolt right on, but wheel fitment is tighter because the '13 brakes are 15". But, the brake pads for the '13 are currently on backorder, so availability is no good right now. I have the calipers and rotors, just waiting on the pads.

I just installed the GT500 4 pot Brembos with Hawk HPS pads and Motul fluid all the way around this last weekend. Stopping power is ridiculous. Hit the brakes from a very high rate of speed the same as I did with the stockers and I thought I was going to pull the suspension right out from under the car. Very happy. I got the Brembos used from 19COBRA93...Thanks!

I had Stoptech ST40 style with 2 piece rotors on a Subie years ago and they were awesome brakes. Plus, it was a daily driver. Just wish I had the capital for them again.

Yes they will. I personally trial fit a set myself. The 19's will fit as well as the SVTPP wheels.

If any one is looking for GT500 brakes for their S197 let us know as we have a great package deal for about 30% less than the Ford Racing kit AND we give you Hawk HPS Pads, upgraded rotors, and stainless steel brake lines.

Here's our kit.
