My cousins got a pair of mach 1 rotors he took off when he got his Baer rotors. Will the Mach 1 rotors direct bolt to my GT with the stock setup?

Quick edit: They have about 40k miles on the rotors, best to just buy new ones, or is there still life in them?

You will also need Cobra/Mach1/Bullitt calipers.

The Mach 1 rotors are 13" in diamter. GT rotors are 10.8" in diameter. The offset bracket is part of the caliper so you'll need the new calipers.

Measure the rotor thickness. If it's out of spec, replace the rotors. If it's in spec, just cut them. The rotors are made by Brembo and should have a min thickness stamped on the outer edge

new 13" rotors are fairly cheap. its the calipers you'll need to buy to use them that will cost you.

I decided to just get some d/s rotors and keep my gt set up since I have no track plans for the car. only my bikes see the track

The spindle is the same on a gt vs a bullit/cobra correct? If thats true what does the bracket look like? I am thinking of running a cobra rotor with some superlite calipers i have and then just make an adapter to the spindle.

Spindles are the same.


mounting bracket is part of the caliper.



GT caliper above. Cobra below. You can see the mounting holes in the caliper support brackets. It bolts to the spindle here. The cobra bracket is longer to position the caliper further away
