Curious, GT350 and GT Brake Calipers

[nastang87xx]

I got a good look at the Ford GT front brake calipers and though huh...those look beaucoup familiar. Are the Ford GT and GT350 from brake calipers the same monoblock aluminum mill?

I was about to say that I doubt it - but I did a google image search and they do look alike! Makes sense. They are great calipers and can stop a 3700lb car over and over again - imagine what they can do with a car like the GT.

They are way different. on the GT, pads slots in from the top, on the 350 you have to remove the caliper and put then in from the bottom. They also mount differently, the GT mounts perpendicular to the rotor plane, 350 mounts parallel to rotor plane

These look bridged to me.

The clip/spring style is definitely different though.
