Brembo Upgrade for Base GT

[RT302]

My apologies if this has already been answered, but what all would be required if I upgraded the stock GT front brakes to the brembo 6 pistons and wanted to move the 4 piston front brakes to the rear?

This would be required if you want to spend money on 4 piston rears https://www.levittownfordparts.com/ford-performance-mustang-gt350r-brake-upgrade-p-6150.html

Seems like there would be a way to use the calipers from the front on the rears for people upgrading the fronts to the brembos

Don’t believe there is brotha. Besides not having a rear parking brake there’s no performance reason to. Plenty of people track their cars with the stock rear calipers, swapping pads (and rotors) for more performance. Also the 4 pistons base calipers are even heavier than the Brembos. If you want an appearance upgrade on all 4 corners the GT350 kit is the easiesy way to do it.

^^ what he said. The caliper mounts from front to rear are incompatible, and you would lose your parking / emergency brake completely.

What are the part numbers for the PP splash shields? There are like 3 different “performance pack” “high performance pack” and “track II package” options

Let me dig around. I took a pic of the part numbers. Let me see if I can find them again.

Like said, not only would be costly to fab up a bracket you would lose the parking brake.
Then there really is no reason since the front brakes do most of the work.

If you just want the look. Then Shelby it is.

Bump for part numbers and results as I'm about to do the exact same upgrade here soon. Want to make sure I have everything I need before starting.

I did not forget. I cannot find the pic. I will get under the car tomorrow and see if the sticker is still on them. As far as performance. Awesome. Zero issues so far and I have a few thousand miles on this set up.

Where can I get a set of Brembo dust shields for a 17 GT? thanks

It’s a Ford factory part. Just get the dust shield for performance pack cars.

I found part # FR3Z2K004h and FR3Z2K005h

Guessing the 4h and 5h are for driver's and passenger side, not necessarily in the order.

I assume so that's why I was asking is these are correct they were about $3.50 ea on line.
