Thanks. The hats, inside and vents are coated black for protection. Winters here are salty.I like the rotors. They look heavy duty.

Yes, I took them apart. Sent them out to get powder coated and rebuilt them myself.
Did brake swap all around yesterday. 4 piston Brembos and rear calipers powder coated Illusion Spanish Fly. In the shade it’s Bronze, in direct light it’s Gold. Matching Centric black hat rotors and 104 series brake pads all around. Eibach 5mm spacers all around. Boss 302 brake lines.

Yes those are the 14” rotors. Why do you ask?Are those the standard size 14" rotors?
Update: Tested up to 110 MPH, a bit less hood shake and probably a bit less front lift. Next step will be to close the gap between the OEM middle panel and the axle. The 2010 (?) is equipped with some part, impossible to buy it here. Got a 4 mm ABS sheet but needs some reinforcement and no idea how/where to fix it.Made a sheet from 3 mm ABS to fill the gap at the underbody on my 07 GT. Was more difficult than I thought. Have not done a high speed test yet, but no problems or noises so far.

I was just making sure that I could not have made that sweet conversion like you did. 14" rotors won't fit in my 18" Pony package wheels so I painted my calipers and used the 13.2" rotors from the GT. They work great but they are not Brembos....Yes those are the 14” rotors. Why do you ask?

Easy does it!Got it out of the barn and drove it for the first time since bypass surgery…

Yes, the stock 18s won’t fit because the barrel is too small. I’m using Enkei EKM3 18x8 40 offset and 5mm spacers, just for extra clearance. I picked up the wheels used and cheap and swapped the stock Pirellis onto them as they came with winter tires. I already have winter wheels so didn’t need the tires so I sold them.I was just making sure that I could not have made that sweet conversion like you did. 14" rotors won't fit in my 18" Pony package wheels so I painted my calipers and used the 13.2" rotors from the GT.

Touren TR76 will also fit. 18x8 35 offset.

Thanks. Eventually planning on 19s for the summer but that’ll be next year or the year after. So to hold me off I picked up the Enkeis just so I can get the Brembos on this year. Had them for a couple years but didn’t install them as I didn’t have wheels to accommodate for the summer. Still need to buy 1 spare 18x8 wheel with a skinny tire so in case I get a flat on a front wheel, I don’t have to switch around the wheels.Damn that is a tight fit. You sure can't say your rotors don't fill the wheel! Nice job.
That sucks.Clutch broke in the 91. Didnt have my phone. Walked home 2+ miles. PA trooper gave me a ride home for the last 300 yards...

Negative.You can easily drive that fix T-5 with out a clutch. It’s tricky in stop-n-go traffic though.
