Shelby GT500 brakes, rotors and shock recommendations PLEASE

[Hurley711]

Hello everyone. I'm slowly upgrading parts on my garage queen a 2010 Shelby GT500 that only sees a few hundred to a thousand miles a year. I'm currently putting new tires on her right now as well as a windshield wiper fluid reservoir that was leaking and a TPMS that failed. Then she goes to sleep for the winter in November.

Next up in the spring I need new brakes
, rotors and shocks. I've been out of there daily driving game for several years and parts have been discontinued like the Duramax gold ceramic pads that I used and there are many different options now and I'm curious what's everyone's running and happy with. I'm open to all suggestions. I've read a lot about Power stop and the Z26 kit looks like a great performance package. I'd like to keep wheel dust to a minimum if possible .

As far as shocks go I don't road race or AutoX it's a weekend cruiser but I will get on it every once in awhile. I'm sure there are some better options than stock shocks and again I'm open to all suggestions.

As far as lowering, I remember hearing back in the day that lowering wasn't the best idea on Shelbys from 2010 is that a myth? I'm not a huge fan of the raked look I'd love to level the front and back but that's probably last on my list. Talk to me people! Thanks in advance!

DBA rotors, or replacement Brembo discs are good.
Stock/OEM shocks and struts, or Bilstein if stockers aren't available.

Ever considered a 13/14 GT500?

Nah! I love my triple black vert I actually love the body and how aggressive it looks and I've owned it since 2015 and only drive it around 2000 miles a year. My everyday driver is a 2019 Bullitt and once I get tired of that I'll probably keep it as well and get the next gen of whatever limited Mustang is out in 4-5 years and DD that.

Has anyone added the Roush wheel hop eliminator piece? Goes in behind the gas tank I believe. Supposed to eliminate all wheel hop with a better bushing.

The same as an Upper Control Arm and Upper Control Arm Bracket from like BMR

Anything will get rid of wheel hop as long its not OEM
(rubber vs poly vs spherical)

But to compliment it all, do all the rear suspension and procure good tires.

Great approach. I will be adding a 350 or Mach 1 at some point to "dailyish" drive.

Who would spend $5000.00+ on brakes for a car that gets driven 2000 miles a year?

Oh, wait a second

According to Maximum Motorsports, the Koni Yellows ride and handle better than the Bilsteins on the GT500.

Not normally a Koni fan, but am thinking of giving them a shot to replace my FRPP Tokicos.

Concur, give Jim Fay a call first and pick his brain he'll recommend the standard Fay's2 over the Shelby unit because of more adjustability. He manufactures both.

And if you can find a Roush UCA kit let me know, they appear to be discontinued.

Does it do anything for tire clesrqnce based on the axle movement vs panhard?

The prices for rear 4 piston rear brakes is insane. Solid axle makes it more so. They are nice. But six pistons in the front, floating calipers in the rear is more than enough for most applications.. But the 4 pistons are real nice bling. I wish they had a kit to fit my old 4 piston Brembos on the rear.
