Full Tilt Boogie GT350 Brake Conversion Kit Install

OK, thanks. I'll do a bit more checking before I try it out.

My understanding is the vacuum is developed by the intake, or more often a pump. The vacuum (say, -5psi) is applied over the booster area (say, 20 square inches) to add force to the master cylinder piston (in my example, 100lbs). I want to make the 'boost' less. I don't mind pushing harder with my foot.

Gotcha. The booster are all the same size physically so I imagine the difference is the plunger/diaphragm solely. But, I'm just guessing.

Can you not install a GT350 front spindle on a GT? The reason I ask is if you price all of the components to do this swap from places like Tasca, White Bear or Levit Town the price is much less. It seems like you're paying big money just for the mounting brackets.
The front calipers are less than $200 ea and so are the rotors. I believe the spindles are less than $150 ea.

Not trying to rag on anyone, just curious. :shrug:

No, GT350 and GT spindles are not interchangeable. I looked into putting together the kit myself and only came within a few hundred dollars. Also, they provide a completely assembled eBrake assembly and when I tried to part them out there was not way to be sure I was seeing all the required pieces.

So, you will need the conversion brackets anyway and they will sell for $395 ish once available separately. There really isn't a lot of money to be made in this kit making it a really good deal. That and your getting step by step instructions and tech support so to me its a no brainer.

I've got about 50 miles on them and they are spectacular! Cars ripped apart for winter installs, I'll update you in the spring :thumbsup:

Really cant touch this kit for the price.

Is that because of the struts? I'm guessing Ford didn't use different chassis attachment points. So if the arms are the same or close it must be the Magnaride struts attaching differently?

The steering knuckles, wheel bearings, and struts are different. The front track width is 1.4" wider on the GT350.

Clarification on what's not factory

Jmeo said:
These are exact GT350 parts and can only fit the same exact way as factory especially in the rear where all OEM parts are used. That said even the fronts are spot on with the custom bracket they supply.

When you say everything in the rear is factory, does that include the bracket you mentioned?

So the only thing in the entire kit that is not factory is the adapter for the front?

Correct, the rear is 100 % the same as what's on a GT350 and the front uses an aluminum bracket to accept the GT350 caliper to the GT knuckle

Well that sucked but I think I fixed it. Thanks for the heads up.

Hi Dave, I think it's just the angle of the dangle that's all. If you zoom into the picture showing the pads in the rear calipers you can see the pads are exactly where they are supposed to be, flush with the edge of the rotor.

I think what your seeing here is the difference between OEM pads and the G-Loc pads I'm using not a difference in how the caliper is mounted.
