2015 6 piston Brembos on a S197

[JDos1]

Does anyone know if the 2015 GT PP 6 piston Brembo calipers are a direct swap to the 2011-14 cars?

A google search yields no definite results. Some say yes, some say no, some say a spacer is required to center the caliper on the rotor.

Well, for one, they're made for 15" rotors. Your rotors are 13" of you don't have the Brembo package.

I meant will the caliper bolt up with no modifications.

I've found a set of new take off's local that include calipers, rotors, pads, lines, etc.

I have a BNIB set of 2011 GT500 Brembo's that I've pieced together for a swap (GT500 4 pot Brembo calipers, AC Delco rotors, Hawk HPS pads, Russell Stainless lines, ACDelco pad hardware kits, splash shields, etc) but if the 15 6 Pot brembos are a straight forward swap I'd rather go that route.

You have to look up Kelly from BMR he was doing some testing on that.

Awesome, didn't know kelly was.

Found the answer. 15 calipers will work without mount spacers but will require Russell lines and 13/14 GT500 rotors as the offset on the hat is different. And obviously wheels that will clear.

Any update on this?

Follow the link that Fasted posted. The OP in that thread and I had been communicating back and forth.

The 2015 6 pistons DO work if you use 2013/14 GT500 rotors. Russell braided stainless lines are also needed. Other than that you're good to go.
