What are the components I would need to get a completely new brake system? On eBay, they have the Mustang GT OEM Front Rotors & Calipers Package '05-'08...is that all I need for a all new brake system for the front? Also, I heard that I would have to change my wheels or something like that in order to fit the GT brakes on mine...would 18x9's work?
I don't know much about mechanical stuff. Would the GT brakes be a big or some improvement from the V6 ones I have on now. I want some great stoppage time...I usually stop from high speeds so...

As I understand it, the only differance between the V6 and GT brakes is the size of the rotor. The V6 rotors are smaller, to fit the smaller 16" wheels. The calipers and pads are the same.
To upgrade, you need the bigger rotors, and the V8 caliper brackets. Get the brackets from Ford, and the rotors from your favorite auto parts store. Upgrade the pads to something like Hawk HP-S.

Alright, so the GT Rotors with the GT Caliper Brackets and get some Hawk HP-S's? That would give me a better stoppage. How long do the Hawks brake pads last for until I have to change them?
And stlwagon, I have the 16's

Can anyone find me some new rotors? The GT ones don't satisfy me
