Can anyone tell me how to adjust my 2017 GT calipers?

No problem

Install them after rotating the piston clockwise until it bottoms out in the caliper bore.
Then install the caliper and pads onto the rotor.
Using vise grips clamped to the parking brake lever, move the lever as if applying the parking brake several times, until you feel the lever’s travel stop short.

That is all there is to it!

Be sure to use your parking brake after driving the car once in a while. That is how you KEEP them adjusted.

Thanks Steve. I installed 2017 calipers using the MS brackets with Cobra cables and the cables are at different lengths where they are supposed to attach to my hump mounted lever. I'm assuming they're not evenly adjusted.
