6 piston Brembos really worth it?

If you want it sell your 1 loan wheel lat me know, I could use a extra.

Test fit update. For those looking to fit the 18x9 Enkei PF01's in ET45 over the 2015 Mustang GT/PP brakes, you will need the 5mm spacer to properly clear the brakes. The 3mm still has a light rub on the inside of the barrel. You could file the ride on the brakes if you don't care about the looks of the brakes or are going to repowder coat them.

I'm unsure if these brakes are identical to the GT500 brakes or not. I thought the brake rotors were built differently due to a different "offset" of the brakes. That may impact fitting these brakes under those wheels on the S197 chassis without some mondo spacers.

There is some sort of difference, I can fit a 18x10 and 18x10.5 BBS wheel over the 13-14 brake kit, the same wheel will not work on the 15 no matter what spacer we use. The bottom of the caliper itself is hitting the barrel.

The fronts were cuz down 1" for SN95 use:

They're custom now

In case it helps, I picked up a set of S550 PP brakes to play with and created a "test-fit" thread here. I was more curious to see if/how they'd fit and will probably sell them because they're heavy. I'm not as concerned with fitment though because I have CF5 wheels on the way, should I decide to keep them.

I'll probably stick with the 14" Brembo rotors, 6-piston Superlites, and my brackets.

Just adding to this list for awareness, the Apex EC-7 et-43 18x10 wheels do clear the 2013-2014 gt500 6piston Brembos - I just installed a set all the way around no issues. Also on a pretty good sale at the moment just FYI

Anyone have piston diameters for the 13/14 GT500 setup? I want to compare to measurements I took on the 2015 PP ones.
