Front calipers, rotors, and pads all for $199. I've done business with new take off before and got good service.

Those are stock though, I'm sure you're ready to upgrade to a big brake kit, right? :D

Here is the Brembo kit:

Only $2,351!

If you seriously are considering a big brake kit you can sometimes find good deals on take off kits from GT500s.

i already took a look at the powerslot on american muscle's site...although the cross drilled & slotted ones look wayyyy better...i wonder howmuch better they actually work though...from their site i was thinking about maybe the powerslots and the hawk pads...

If you are wanting stock replacements, we took all of pony's off his car, I think they are still for sale.... If you are going to upgrade, I can ask around at the shelby site and find you some take off brembo's, but you must run 18 inch or larger rims....

Last time I spoke with Tommy, he could get great deals on parts. Call and see what he can do!

You have the chrome bullits, right? If I'm not mistaken those are 18in wheels, and I believe brembos will fit any 18in wheel.

I could use some take-off GT500 brakes...got 20s so clearance is not an issue.

Sure. I'm probably going to pull the front Shelby sway bar off and replace it this weekend.
