[QUOTE="Toplait, post: 15914768, member: 189162"] Update: 5/24/2018 -Rear brakes complete: WOW! I finished converting the rear 12" rotors to the 14" GT500 using the Blowfish brackets. I can say the process took all day long. -Required pulling the axles to swap the axle tube brake brackets to the larger GT500 brackets. To do this I had to remove the passenger side Whiteline sway bar end link to remove the JM Pan-hard bar to remove the GT500 finned Differential cover to be able to remove the C-clips to pull the axles. -The factory caliper brackets that hold the caliper had to be ground down to accommodate the new larger rotors from rubbing a at the very outer edges. This was the time consuming process of trial and error. Putting every thing back together and then taking every thing back off till it was right. The Blowsifh GT500 brackets comes with instructions on how to do so. A die grinder and a Dremel tool will be required using the factory Caliper brackets. -The U-bolt style support bracket for the caliper brackets that bolt around the rear end axle tubes can not be reused. The factory ones are not long enough to bolt up to the new GT500 brackets. Are they needed? No, they are not needed but will help with support. Front Brakes: Still waiting on some parts: I received the [b][URL='https://www.summitracing.com/parts/RUS-693380']RUS-693380[/URL] stainless steel braided [/b]Brake Lines and after looking at them, "I'm going to send them back." I don't like how they are bent. Ill be going with these instead do to the shape of the bends. I think they will fit the 6 piston Brembo calipers better.
