15+ brembos fit our car?

Nope.
You can get the caliper to bolt up to the knuckle, but the rotor is in the wrong position.
It won't work without modification, and the amount of modification needed to get it working isn't worth the effort versus buying a set of brembos specifically made for S197s.

Why can't you change the hole spindle and brake assembly? Just use your old control arm and strut.
Got a set of 15 takeoffs from Shelby Auction for $288, (like $330 shipped). Not counting 15 rotors, that is about $540 in parts.
Going to try to sell 15 rotors for half what they are new. 15 rotors are a bit cheaper than 14 rotors, or about $100 each.
So I figure approx. net for calipers and pads would be $230ish. Only issue doing it this way is you still need to buy
brake lines, but I was planning SS lines anyway. Might get a couple bucks for 15 lines at some point too......

im also interested in this... i'd love to put some 6 piston 15' calipers up front of my 14' and somehow get the 4 piston brembos I got up front to work on the rear.
anyone ever put the 4 piston track pack brakes on the rear?
this would be a lot better than blowing $4k on wilwoods

I think some of you are confusing 15" rotors with the '15+ brembo caliper.
Of course a 13-14 GT500 15" front setup work fine, but the S550 6 piston brembos do not.

I've found a definite answer from someone who has done the swap.
IF YOU HAVE WHEELS TO CLEAR THEN:
2015 6 piston Brembo CALIPERS will work!
The install will require Russell braided stainless lines for the 11-14 cars AND 2013/14 GT500 rotors as the rotor hat offset is different on the 15 cars.
According to the person that has done the swap, that is all that is necessary, otherwise it's a straight swap.

Wonder if Track Pack wheels will work, maybe with s small spacer.
so I can pick up 15' 6 piston brembos, Russell braided lines and a set of 13' 14' gt500 rotors and everything will just bolt right up on my 14' gt? i'd love to do this... do I need to modify anything else or buy different mounting hardware?

Seems like a whole lot of work to go through rather than just buying the M-2300-T kit that's actually made for the S197.
The mounting is the same. According to the guy that I've been speaking with that has done the swap, yes that is all that is needed to get the 2015 6pot Brembos to work.
My set is for sale since my AMR's don't clear. I won't have $ for new wheels for quite a while.
The guy who has done the swap was running 19" Forgestar CF5's and they cleared fine for him.

You can buy the M-2300-T kit for $1800 or for just $850ish you can have 6 pot Brembos.
Installing calipers, lines, and rotors....which you have to do with that kit anyway isn't very much work.
I could've just bought the FRPP 4 piston Brembo S197 upgrade kit for $1150 or for just $700 I pieced the set together and have even better components. I saved $450 with just 1 extra hour of research....and I have better components. Lots of people think it's a waste to pay more money for a lesser product.

dude, you do realize the M-2300-T kit is indeed the 6 pistons, 15" front rotors and the 14" rear rotors right? thats actually a solid price, Ive been eyeing it lately

im pm'ing you my info I would love to buy the brakes from you.
I do, never said it wasn't. Look at the price difference. $1800 vs $850ish. I like to save money. 14" rears aren't worth $950 to me. When you can do a new take-off conversion for much less $ why pay more?
