Default Anyone have this front brake rotor upgrade on a v6?

Hey, I saw this come across as a new product being offered by moss mustang. Just wondered if anyone has made a switch to gt rotors or if this is just a packaged deal of something that you guys commonly do. Any advantage to it? The rotors are just normal gt rotors right and then they give you the right clips to swap out for the v6 pad clips?

I didn't use the upgrade kit, I went ahead and switched out to the entire gt takeoff brakes. Its about the same thing, only difference is the gt brake claipers are a bit bigger and the fluid lines are bigger. Im not sure if this is due to them being off a gt or due to them being newer, but they were. I noticed a nice increase in braking power and the brakes don't overheat as fast. I would recommend the upgrade.

The calipers are the same... the bracket is larger to clear the larger rotor.

Uh... the GT Brakes really won't make that big of a difference... some guys on V6 Power made the switch... but that was because they were running their cars on tracks for hours at a time... personally I'd say the switch is a waste of cash... our stock brakes work just fine...
