All,
Building off of @steveespo pioneering on the subject, I upgraded my front brakes with S550 6 piston Brembo calipers and 2013 GT500 15" rotors. I wanted to give back to the TMO community and compile a complete parts list to make it easy for those seeking to do the same. Below is the link to Steve's original post:

The brakes feel great on the street so far (very powerful). I will report soon on track day results. Unfortunately they only clear a handfull of 18" wheels. So Far I have fitted Team Dynamics 18x10s, Forgestar CF5 18x11, and Apex EC7 18x11.
