When swapping over the calipers, what bolts did you'll use to attach the caliper to the hub? Did you all reuse any of the bolts from the caliper bracket (gt) to hub?
If you mean the caliper to the spindle, it just uses the original bolts.

I just looked back at what I ordered, I used 2013 GT front brake hoses but they are the same. I didn't have any problems mounting them at all.
Those are just repackaged stock GT500 14" 4 piston Brembos (probably using the reproduction calipers). Same brake setup this whole thread is about. They do fit under 18" wheels, just not all 18" wheels. That's what the early GT500s came with.I was poking around on Rock Auto the other day looking at brakes for 05-09 and they had a 4 piston setup that they advertise fits over 18" wheelshttps://www.rockauto.com/en/moreinfo.php?pk=11059248&cc=1432173&pt=13255&jsn=1044

Correct, which bolts do I use from my gt brake assembly to bolt the caliper to the spindle? I assume the bracket bolts that bolt to the spindle.If you mean the caliper to the spindle, it just uses the original bolts.
I did see them at American Muscle and purchased them as well. Hopefully in a couple of days I will install them, here is a pic of the rims. According to American Muscle, these brakes should clear the rimsJust wanted to add that you can get OEM boss 302 brake lines front and rear from American muscle for $100. If you’re just street driving they’re fine. Might as well upgrade those while everything’s apart in my opinion but you could use the brake lines you have now if you’re trying to do this on a budget.

It fits
The weights did grace the caliper though. There is probably between 1/8 of an inch of clearance. Going to be taking the rims to get then re-balanced and ask them if they could put the weights elsewhere.

Have them "static" balanced. Weights are only put on the inside lip. Unless you want weights on the face of the wheel.
Ps: I have my own spin balancer. And I dont zero out my wheels anymore. I kept losing the stick on weights at track days. Only use the static option and only if the wheel is significantly out of balance. Anything under 3/4 oz out is perfectly fine. I get no vibrations on the highway or at up to 145 mph.
Im not recomending this, just posting personal exprience.
Did that. Still lost them. lol I think the hot brakes cooked the tape after the sessions.Put duct tape over your stick on weights. “Old racers” trick.

Did not use that tape, probably why I kept losing them. lolEven with that 1000 degree tape?

One standard weight on the inside lip is good enough for me. And I've not lost one of those to date.
