Hey all, stupid question. Upgrading to performance pack brakes on ‘15 gt. Wondering if it is possible to use the oem gt fronts on rear? I assume i would need a new bracket setup. Does this exist?

When you say bracket setup are you referring to replacing the calipers? Other than that I don't even think its possible in my opinion. But there are a lot of seasoned mechanics here who can probably give you a step by step overview on how to properly replace them.

No they won't work, the rear does not need to be upgraded for just a street car. If you want to upgrade the rears, either go aftermarket or get the GT 350 brake kit.

Sharing what I got online for mine: https://www.levittownfordparts.com/sku/m-2300-y.html. A little bit above my budget though

I was looking at those as well. They are pricey but if it's what you want then that's all that matters. Don't forget to post pics when you can!

I'd guess you'd be fine with the 6 piston Brembos from the Performance Pack. I did just that and the difference between that and the stock is night and day, especially if you track the car, probably not so much if you autocross, and likely even less if you drag. For the rears, you should be fine just stepping up to a slightly more aggressive compound to keep the balance and bias you're used to. That's why people running G-Loc pads go with combos like R12/R10 or R16/R12.
