GT500 Brakes on my 01 Saleen

TT91 · Apr 13, 2007

Installing GT500 brakes on a 2001 Saleen.

Mass with Pads
Gt500: 11.13lb (5.05kg)
Saleen: 8.71lbs (3.95kg)

Overall Length
Gt500: 11.5"
Saleen: 9.5"

Piston Size
Gt500: Larger piston-1.732 (44mm) Smaller piston- 1.575 (40mm)
Saleen: Larger piston-1.575 (40mm) Smaller piston- 1.417 (36mm)

Bolt Spacing
Gt500: 5.905 (150mm)
Saleen: 5.119 (130mm)

The overall width of the calipers are the same, so there shouldnt be any clearance issues with the wheels.

Very nice, was it cheaper than buying a kit from baer, brembo for your year car?

TT91 · Apr 13, 2007

I already had the Saleen brembos up front, but wanted more. I bought the brembos Brand new off ebay for $350, the rotors cost me $100 a piece from ford.....and some elbow grease. It was a no brainer.

do you think those welds are going to hold? real thin...

If that bracket holds up then I think you just may have a niche product there. Those GT500 Brembos look REAL sharp!!

Can you make a set up for the Front & Back for an 03 Cobra??

Tig on stainless, yea I think they'll hold. The brackets are a lot bigger in person, I minimized these photos...

14" rotors. Ill be selling a kit with the brackets and bolts once I put these through a rigorous test phase. Ill be moving to a two piece rotor in the near future as well.

Well this is a setup for the front, since we all share the same spindle. Im working on putting my old Saleen/00R brembos on the back as we speak with a 13" rotor.

Correct

What are your plans for the e-brake?

dgussin1 · Apr 14, 2007

just be careful not to "overbrake" the rear. It could cause unstability with hard braking, especially in less than ideal weather conditions.

GodStang · Apr 14, 2007

Wow dude you need to get this kit going. I guess you need 18s minmum? I would be all over this if it is a decent price.
