Did I miss a deal?

[fobnicat]

So I was a a swap meet all day (and I have this sunburn to prove it) and I found what I thought might have been a deal but I wasn't 100% on it so I didn't buy.

The guy had a set of 2005 - 2009 GT500 Brembo OE brakes, the beautiful 6 piston calipers with rotors, hoses and all.. While they were indeed used the wear on the rotors was minimal and at a cost of $750 (probably could have talked him down, heard him saying he had not sold anything all day) I think I should have bought them.
The reason I didn't look into them more is because I am uncertain if they would fit my '01 GT.

Anyone have any input?

JMO but, if I had the spare cash to buy those, I would, b/c you can make anything fit if you have the know how, you could have bought them soley for the reason to sell them again for profit. Thats what swap-meets are for.

Yeah, I thought about that while I was there, but since I wasn't really sure about them, I didn't buy them. So they would not fit an 01? At least with not without some fabricating?

Correct. You could have bought them just to sell to someone with an '05-'09 to make a profit though.

i know theres 14" kits out there for our cars but not sure what is involved in the install...im sure you coulda got them to work

Those with GT500 brakes, i need a measurement please! - Ford Mustang Forums

You can make them fit. There are adapter brackets out there.

But to be honest, you could prob find a used 2000 R brembo kit for about the same if not cheaper and it will bolt right on. You would need 18" wheels however. Unsure how big you need for the gt500 kit

Oh well, I will just endnup
buying the stoptech or wilwood kit anyways.... Really want slotted before I hit the curves....
