Brakes and Suspension??

[Mustang30212]

Hey guys,

I just upgraded the suspension and brakes on my 05GT. Would the stock stuff of my GT (front brakes, struts, shocks, springs and both sway bars) be an upgrade for you guys?

If so...anyone interested in this stuff....32k miles on it.

Did you change the calipers on your front brakes? If so, you could sell the caliper brackets and rotors which would be a good upgrade. Sway bars = good upgrade. I may be incorrect, but I think the springs are rated differently for GT's and sixxers due to more weight on the nose. Shocks may be good for rear end swaps from what I heard, but again I may be wrong. Not sure about struts either.

Yes...I swapped it all out.

yea it's a good swap in for V6's. The sway bars are a little bigger. The calipers are the same but V6 guys will need the caliper mounting brackets and the rotors. The springs are a little heavier than the V6's and it may raise the suspension a little. Pretty sure the struts/shocks are the same.

The rear sways from a coupe won't fit a vert though, of either model.

If you guys know anyone wanting this stuff...tell them to hit me up. I'll let it go pretty cheap.

pretty expensive to ship. Most the GT take off I see is in the local craigslist. You should try that too.

If you're willing to sell just the rear sway endlinks, front sway mounting bracket, and bushings let me know. I'm looking to buy these parts.

 

[Mustang30212]

I re-used the front sway bar mounting brackets...but I just ordered a set of 34mm ones and plan to swap the GT500 front bar for a Saleen.

Make me an offer on the stuff. It's pretty cheap to just buy new aftermarket ones.

I have the front rotors, front calipers and the rear rotors. Is this what you are interested in?

[moostang09]

i think i need the rear rotors too right?

rears are the same on both the V6 and GT.

 

[Mustang30212]

Are the calipers the same?

I know the rear brakes are the same from a GT to a Shelby GT500....except the pads.

V6 and GT rear brakes are the same, rotors, calipers, pads. Get some upgraded pads for yours if you want better braking. Otherwise you'd be swapping the same parts in and out.

For the fronts all you need is the rotors and the caliper mounts. Make sure if you buy a GT take off set that you get the caliper mounts not just the calipers. To swap in the GT fronts all you need to do is swap rotors, and mounts. You don't even need to take your brake line off the calipers. Undo the 2 smaller bolts that hold the caliper to the mount. Bungee the caliper up out of the way. Remove the 2 larger bolts that hold the caliper mount on. Replace with GT caliper mount. Attach caliper to mount. Go fast, stop better.
