Yep 2000 GT brakes. :D  I used MK VII stuff on my old Cougar, worked great but I had to grind down the hub  on the front so my wheels would fit. Some of the newer Mustang wheels won't clear the hub.

  You'll like the MK VII rears, big rotors and big calipers.

Well the color scheme is hush hush right now...lol. The winter part will depend on wheather I find a really cheap vehicle before winter, as this is my only car at the moment.

Great looking wheels. I've seen the "wider" versions of them as well. Deep wheels in the back....YES !!! Great work so far. As far as driving in the winter, the Sport loves the cold weather. I built her to drive. BUT, I also may change my mind in a heart beat after this next paint job. I may be looking for another car as well. I like where you're going with it. The spoiler...Mmmmmmm not so much, but that has to be for you. Still, great looking car. The wheels really set it off. .
