Base GT brakes to 15" Brembos, dust shields

[Jinx]

Im installing my 15" brembos soon and want to make sure I have all the NEEDED parts. I have the calipers, pads, and rotors. Do I need different dust shields when doing this swap?

I didn't use new dust shields with my 4P. The rotors don't even come close to touching. If you have $50 to spare, you can get the 2013/2014 GT500 shields. I thought about getting them just for kicks.

I didn't put the GT500 shields on mine.

Darren didnt you start with 4 pot brembos? Do 4 pot brembos use the same shield as the base brakes?

The 15" Shelby brakes have tiny dust shields that cover the tie rod and protect it from heat. Some people don't install them. I did. See picture below.

I remove the dust shields on everything I work on. Have been for years. No problems at all.

^^^Same here. Although I am running the 4 piston Brembos, I did not use the dust shields, and have had no issues by NOT using them.

Thanks guys, I think I'll do without them too.
