caliper mounts

[csheff]

I'm up grading the brakes to GT on my 2017 Ecoboost. Does anyone know if the front brackets are seen with the 4 piston caliper on? I'm having all parts powder coated.
Standard brakes for the 2.3 turbo, can the splash shields be used for the Gt calipers or do they need to be changed?

What do you mean by caliper mounts ? Calipers are bolted to the knuckle.

Don't the fronts use brackets for the calipers for the 4 piston calipers?

No, all models have the front calipers mounted directly to the knuckle. The 4 and 6 piston GTs have the same one, and the GT350 is different.

Only time you need a bracket is to put on GT350 calipers onto GT knuckles, one company makes a special adapter bracket.

What calipers are you upgrading your GT to?

No. They bolt to the knuckle. See EFI's post above.

Ok I see the caliper bracket is not used, I have basic ecoboost brakes up grading to GT. Thanks
