Hi,

Can anyone advise if these are a direct bolt on, I am about to buy but don't know if I'll have complications.

http://philadelphia.craigslist.org/pts/5395377100.html

I've searched, with no luck finding results for 15/16. I do know they fit the 2014 V6.

Any help would be appreciated.

TY,

Yes they are a direct bolt on. However you will need the the rear dust shields or you will need to bend your stock ones out of the way.

Great, I'll post a DIY on install. I dont even have the car yet. :)

Front dust shields can be left, or do those need to be taken from the GT500 as well?

I don't know if the older GT500 Brembos work. I just know the 2015+ GT PP Brembos will bolt up. The dust shield can be left off or you can get the GT PP dust shields.

I heard they are a direct bolt on for Eco PP and non-PP GTs.

Something about how non-PP Eco and V6 lack stainless steel brake lines while the aforementioned do.

I heard the same, reason I started the thread to confirm. I haven't seen a 15/16 V6 with any BBK on it yet, and would hate to spend $1000 and have to sell.

SS brake lines can be acquired, I'm more worried about the bolt thread size and correlation to V6 bracket mounting points.

Thanks for the response.

Why not get that ones in the original CL ad? That is a pretty good deal at $750.
Do realize that your stock 18" wheels will not fit over those GT PP Brembos. Only a few 18's will and most 19's will.
The much more common upgrade for the V6 guys is the 2015+ base GT 4 piston setup that can be had used for < $400 and can fit under your stock 18" wheels.

They are tentatively locally sold. Seller does not want to ship. Yes I realize that the foundry 18's will not fit, planning on getting the 19" GT PP wheels either way.

You make a good point on the 4 pistons, I will be looking for those as well.
For $400 I cant go wrong.

Cheers,
