Do a search for TODD TCE. Todd has some kits available. You will need to replace your stock rims because they will not clear the calipers.

RallyD, I believe I see your underdrive pulley, no? Honest, how big of a pain in the a$$ is it to put in, and a difference? I know we've talked about this before, really looking at getting one now.

not bad about an hour from start to beer.
you will need a three jaw puller, socket set, propane torch, new belts, gloves, and most importantly beer.

Rally, do you feel a big difference with the underdrive pulley? Is it worth the money and install?

RallyDRock,
But those Wilwoods are not on a GT, are they? Will they fit the GT?

RallyDRock, is there a down side to the underdrive besides needeing special size belt? On my Mustang, I have charging problems ie at night I dont charge at all and in the rain at night my directional signals barely flash. Will the wilwoods fit on stock wheels?? Does anyones fit on those skinny stockards, and if they do do they work that much better than stock??

the brakes will fit N/A GT SRT-4. there are measurements available from precision brakes' website on caliper clearance. I know the brakes fit fine inside my Speedline 17X7.5 et+38. GT wheels may need a small spacer to fit.
with the pulley i dont have any charging problems even at idle. I am going to add a capacitor to the new system because i used to have a smaller amp that only ran the sub. originally put the pulley on while the car was N/A and it made a noticeable difference especially with the a/c on. the only downsides i can think of is if you didnt seat the pulley onto the crank snout properly and tiny bit of squeaking when cold or wet but it goes away after about 5 min.
