Also...you can see how well the brakes start working once they are up to temp. Thats how high performance pads work. They need to be up to temp before they start working well. Keep up the content man. Loving your channel! I hope it continues to grow

I gotta tell you man thats a nice ride. It's nice to see a mod channel specifically for 08/09 Bullitts. I've got another 3v build to watch now other than Four Eyes haha. May I recommend the MRT Bullitt Shift knob. $60 and it adds a nice personal touch with your car's #.

Thanks. You may want to think about the 6 piston upgrade - if you go that route you’ll need to upgrade the rears and the master cylinder as well.

I run the coolers on my Bullitt and I've done the big rotor set up but not the big calipers. The big calipers are out right now because they won't fit behind the stock wheels that at the moment I want to continue to run. I had to get a hold of a set of '11-14 GT caliper mounting brackets. I also run Hawk performance pads all around and I installed the ss brake lines some months back, both of which improved brake feel and response a lot. The big rotors are basically just cosmetic now since I'm not running the big calipers but I have a set of the calipers out in the garage (they were $120 for one and 130 for the other side, with the core charge) so someday when I finally break down and get newer style FR500 wheels, I'll complete the upgrade. Great videos you've posted, though you're taking your Bullitt way further than I've done with mine but I've gotten some good info from you. Did the jacking rails last weekend.

@ProjectBullitt 3 года назад

I'm glad I could help! I have never heard of what you described, but that should help you stop better. The further the caliber is away from the center of rotation, the more leverage/stopping power it will have.

@tatj83 3 года назад

@chrisrcarraher8800 3 года назад

Great find sourcing the reman brembos to save some money but you could have even done it for less with the motorcraft oem rotors at 50 ea on rock auto. I bought the ford performance kit new for about 1200, the solid rotors are holding up great and I track my car hard.

@ProjectBullitt 3 года назад

Awesome. I wanted to try R1 concepts, they are decent I think.

@AndrewNL08 3 года назад

Wow, this is cool!! I want to do this on mine for sure, thanks for posting!

@jackholmes8105 3 года назад

Pads and fluid are probably your best bet moving forward if you are planning to track. Also is the master cylinder the right size(the same size as the gt500s)? Braking distance vs thermal capacity are not always the same as well. Ie your old set up with aggressive pads(gloc r12s or something) will probably hold up longer than your new set up on street pads. All things being equal though the larger calibers and rotors though should be able to take more heat. Easiest way to reduce stopping distances are sticker tires. A good option in your sizes are probably rs4s, or the falken 615+s. 200tw tires are your friend. Hopefully this helps or at least provides some for thought, great looking bullit.

@ProjectBullitt 3 года назад

You’re exactly right, if I ever seriously track this thing I’ll go for some race pads and the GT500 master cylinder. However, I don’t have a track near me, (other than a quarter mile) so for now, this was a reasonable upgrade. (Better looks, better stopping distance) I appreciate the feedback.

@GA08GT478 3 года назад

Nice upgrade. I’ve considered going this route, but I don’t want to buy new wheels.

@SeriusChevy 3 года назад

If your wheel aren't big enough to fit them, then you need new bigger and wider wheels anyways bud. Look into set of set of svts. They are nice and also Ford oem product

@kyleshipley1681 2 года назад

Another way you can do a brake upgrade is I used the 4 piston off a 2015 base gt. Im now running 14' rotors with the calipers and stainless lines. Only downside is clearance for the wheels.

@ProjectBullitt 2 года назад

Yep and unless I’m mistaken there is a relatively easy 6 piston swap as well. But then you gotta upgrade the master cylinder and the rear rotor width.

@kyleshipley1681 2 года назад

@@ProjectBullitt yea I knew you could go to the performance pack calipers but I don't need that much more cause my build is going to be for more drifting not fast. So my next upgrade is swapping the rear setup for the gt500 setup but it will be dual caliper for the hydro brake.

@wick6315 10 месяцев назад

How do you like the rotors? I have a 13 gt500 and was thinking about upgrading to this rotor due to your content. Also they are listed for $429 from jegs. Price went up I'm assuming?

@ProjectBullitt 10 месяцев назад

Get slotted only, and I would have to imagine they are different brands. The ones I got are R1 Concepts. Otherwise I like the rotors, the “GEOMET” coating does a good job at preventing rust.

@PIaydough 2 года назад

When you bolted the new calipers up, you use the same bolts that you took off the old caliper? I'm guessing theyre the ones that were holding the bracket on that you no longer use?

@ProjectBullitt 2 года назад

That’s correct! It’s an incredibly simple swap, besides bleeding the calibers.

@bryancrowe4022 Год назад

First off let me thank you for great info on the 08 Bullitt. Very informative and easy to understand. Wondering how the brakes have been holding up and if you have had them on a track to test the heating properties? I just bought a 1 owner 2009 Bullitt (#6427) with an Edelbrock blower. Took it to Auto Club Speedway last Saturday and smoked the OEM brakes. Got to 500'. Porterfield street pads. I'm considering doing your upgrade. Not seeing the calipers you chose on Rock Auto. Do you know if they are still available? Thanks again.

@ProjectBullitt Год назад

Thanks for the feedback! No track time, and I don’t believe the pads I chose would hold up on the track. I would choose track pads and some high quality slotted rotors if you plan to track it a lot. It looks like there are some silver Power Stops available on rock auto as of right now. I only saw the left front caliper from the brand I ordered. Make sure you look at parts for the GT500!

@briano3128 2 года назад

Your front sway bar end links go straight up. Put the upper end in the front hole of your strut. And get a 7mm short bolt and nut with an 11mm washer for your brake line to replace the zip tie. Cool mods tho,thanks for sharing.

I have 2016 California Special Wheels that are 19x8.5, will this setup fit? I haven't found anything that proves that they will. Also are the rotors and pads made for a GT500 as well? Thanks! I love this set up.

@ProjectBullitt Год назад

Well, it has to do with the offset of the wheel (where the back center of the wheel meets the wheel hub vs where the outer edges of the rim are). You should be able to look that up but I don’t know off the top of my head. And yes, this is the GT500 set up!

@VQ37_Jacob 3 года назад

@mooosestang Год назад
