Brembo 6-piston Caliper on Base 2018 GT 400A

[Proper-Fuel]

Hey all. Been trying to figure this out and the Ford parts diagrams and descriptions are giving me a headache. Especially since I don't have a PP1 or 2 or Bullitt VIN to use. Thought maybe one or some of you have done this and would know off the top of your head.

I purchased the Brembo 6-pistol calipers that Ford put on the Bullitt S550. They came bare; no pads, no "retainer" hardware, banjo nuts, no nothing except for the center pins; one in each caliper. I also purchased a pair of slotted and drilled 15" rotors and Hawk ceramic pads for the Brembos.

Based on my research I believe I will need a new hardware kit, such as this:

I should be able to reuse brake hoses and everything else.

Am I mistaken about that and the stock hardware such as the center and locating pins and anti-rattle clips off my base calipers would transfer over?

[SAY WHAT]

None of the stock hardware will transfer over from the caliper except the mounting bolts to the spindle.

Well that was easy. Thanks for confirming what I suspected. I think one problem was most people that show you the install, including Ford, work off the kit that has the prebuilt calipers with all that hardware, so they never address it.

Thanks again man.

Thats the exact kit I used when I ordered my Bullitt Brembos from Steeda... Check out Rock Auto. Half the price of CJ's.

I'm good. Had the calipers and rotors installed for several weeks now.

Gents, I ordered the Steeda Bullitt upgrade Brembo kit on a non-PP 2017 GT-I don’t think the rotors are included, what rotors did you guys use or recommend?

I went with these Stop Tech 15" rotors through LMR. Out of stock there currently. Very happy with them.
