Ecoboost HPP Brakes

[Bitten in '69]

I did searches but did not find an answer. I know that the HPP has the 4 piston calipers, and that the Handling Package steps up to the 6 piston Brembos.
My question is what needs to be changed to do an upgrade? Do the knuckles/hubs need to be replaced?
Or, is there a 4 piston caliper which would be an upgrade, yet compatible with the knuckles?
Thanks,
Fred

I can't answer the questions about the knuckle and hub with any certainty, but I'm almost 100% that you need to replace the knuckle because of the way the Brembos mount (directly to the knuckle rather than to a bracket then to the knuckle). You could probably get a 90% solution simply by upgrading pads and rotors, rather than going to a full Brembo swap.

What are your goals and requirements?

6 Piston Brembo Calipers from any S550 GT/Mach1 bolt on, need the Rotors as well. Knuckles hubs are all the same unless you look into GT350 parts.

6 piston brembos will bolt up just fine. You will need 15" rotors, pads, and while you're in there get stainless braided lines. I believe your stock rotors are 14".

It is the fact that I have a 350, and know how they mount that I questioned if the other 6 piston calipers were the same.

GT 350 brembo calipers will not bolt up to standard hubs. You need a bracket to accomplish this. LMR sells them. That's what I used to mount gt350 calipers on my base GT.
