Brembo Upgrade for Base GT

[Houston Kid]

Yes. Very cheap stamped metal parts. About 1/2 or so material less compared to the non PP car dust shields.

So those are the correct part #'s for PP1 brembos?

Do you even need the dust shields?

It's a pretty good idea to keep radiated heat off of things like balljoints and tierod ends.

I have a base GT 18 with 14" rotors up front and 13" in the rear.

I just got in a set of new old stock Brembo calipers for a 50th anniversary GT for a 15" rotor. Obviously I need new rotors and the dust shield ($5 per side at my local dealership, not bad), but whatelse is needed? I thinking of going 14" calipers and rotors for the rear and install both at the same time.

If I only upgrade the front Brembo calipers and upgrade the front and rear rotors, will I need a different proportioning valve or anything else for the system to function properly?

I have a quick question, I Have a 2019 Base Modal GT That comes with the OEM 4 piston calipers and I recently bought the brembo 6 piston upgrade and I was wondering if I could still use the OEM Brake lines?

I used the original brake lines and had no issues.

I used the original break line (the line that screws into the cable and runs to the master cylinder)but it was recommended to me to add 6 piston brake cables that run from the caliper to the line. Someone please correct me if im mixing up those terms.

I used all the 4 piston hardware as well as the original master cylinder for the brembo upgrade..
no issues. Oh, I replaced all the crush washers.

Yes all original except for the crush washers.

CORRECTION. I did re-use the crush washers. Dooh.

Thanks. I think they are going to be a very nice upgrade. I did a test fit tonight while installing adjustable camber bolts. Rotors and pads should be here next week. I am considering stainless lines since like others said, I am already all up in there. LOL. :cheers:

What size wheels are those? I'm looking to do same upgrade and dont wanna have any clearance issues w calipers.
Also did you refuse your old non OP brake hoses for 6 piston calipers?
Thanks Anthony

I do not but they clear my SVE 350 rims in 19”. 35 mm backspace so compare that to yours maybe.

See above for the rim size.

I used all factory/stock hoses, banjo bolts, and crush washers (maybe should have used new crush washers but I had zero issues).
