Do Brembo calipers work with automatic transmission?

[JMil757]

Have a 2016 EB Performance Pack w/ auto transmission.

Wanted to confirm the brembo calipers will work?

Reason I ask is there’s a review on CJ’s where they state the brembos locked up on a GT because of the automatic transmission.

Not sure if I have the correct PP brake booster, or a standard GT brake booster.

As far as fit, yes. As far as working with a Automatic, I have a PP1 with a Automatic. For best operation you may upgrade to a PP1 master cylinder .

Looks like you have an ‘18+ though

The 15-17 only had manual PP 5.0 for brembos

You have the standard GT booster.
An Ecoboost PP is just standard GT brake setup.

I only drive stick, so can't comment further. And my eb/pp was a '19 and I didn't change a thing when putting the 6pots on.

That's incorrect. You could get an auto with the PP1 package in 2017 on the coupe. The PP1 time line was
2015 coupe only, manual only.
2016 coupe and convertible, manual only
2017 coupe manual and auto, convertible manual only
2018 both manual and auto on the coupe and convertible.

When I say PP1, what I mean is the standard performance pack, there was also a PP2 which bridged the gap between the PP1 and the GT350.

I had a 2016 GT. I added the calipers and essentially made a PP1+ using PP1 wheels tires, and the FP spring bar kit and added Bilstein b6.

For you and others looking to upgrade to Brembo calipers (and yes, on an Automatic car), please check out my write up on this. 2 months in and I still don't need the upgraded cylinder (using whatever stock cylinder the V6 comes with, no PP options were available on said "base model").

I track my car and/or autocross 1-2 times per month.

I also am linking my build thread, where I discuss rear brake upgrades as well to vented rotors versus inverted hats.
