I guess the supply is getting really limited on these. I think I paid $399 for mine. Now the are getting expensive but I really like the color combo better than red. Don't get me wrong, red is nice looking, just not my taste.

Yeah, they're nice. I was planing to go with them until the Bullitt calipers came out. My car and wheels are all black, so I wanted something that would stand out a bit. I really wanted to go with the GT350R kit but it's abut $4,000 and you need to change out the half shafts and stuff. Did the Brembos make a big difference over the base brakes?

I just received these in the mail today. They're the new red Brembo calipers that come on the Bullitt. Thanks to Benny at Levittown Ford helping me track down the part # and getting them to me super quick (they shipped yesterday and arrived today). Great looking mod for anyone looking to upgrade their base brakes to Brembos.

Thanks for this. I just ordered a set for the same price. Super deal!

OK, So got the Bullitt Brembos installed with slotted rotors and Z26 pads so here's a quick write up.
All was going good until I realized that FORD gave me two different length caliper pins in the "sealed" pin kit.
Shout out to Benny at Levittown Ford for shipping me out a new pin right away.
Install was super easy other than the pin hiccup. Replaced the crush washers but did not replace the brake lines. Used a Brakemotive pressure bleeder.
Only bled the front calipers and have a solid pedal from the first drive. Did not replace the MC.
Actually had to use a syringe to remove some of the fluid in the MC as it was to the very top when I removed the bleeder cap.
The Z26 pads felt soft during the bed in process but feel better and firm now. I'll give it a little bit before I lay into them and give them a real test.
Wheels are 19x10 with +40 offset. No clearance problems. I plan on painting the rear calipers using the G2 kit
Couple of pics from garage and C&C this past weekend

Looks great. I'm waiting for some warmer weather to install mine and paint the rear calipers.

Wow, they turned out great. Did you paint them yourself?
Thanks! Yeah and that’s just using standard Ford Grabber Blue aerosol paint and lacquer from the dealer with some Brembo decals from eBay. I don’t track the car or get the brakes hot enough to affect it so no need to powder coat etc, Done this on numerous cars I’ve had and never had an issue.
