Cobra calipers or the stock GT PBR's. Either will work but depending on what year spindle you have, you may need to grind them a bit to get the pbr caliper to fit.

Yes they will fit. You will have to clearance the spindle for the GT/V6 calipers as stated above. The cobras will fit as is. Make sure you get the correct brake lines. They changed the thread pattern in mid-03.

You will just need the coarse thread bolts, you can buy them from fms.
