Has anyone done a conversion from dual-piston front calipers to a cobra dual-piston calipers? Any dramatic improvement? I realized that one uses a 10" rotor and the other uses 13". Is it worth it to convert? Thanks.

I did the bullit brake upgrade w/ 13" rotors made a big difference in braking power vs. the stock set up. my car stops much quicker now esp. at high speeds, well worth the money IMHO...
I also recomend upgrading your stock brake lines to steel braided, they will give a "firmer" braking feel, and you might pick up some speed bleeders made the job a whole lot easier,I did it by myself in my garage, fairly easy mod

They are much better. I went on a 100 mile road trip with alot of fast corners and hard breaking with some GTs and a Cobra. All the GTs were complaining about break fade. Myself and the Cobra had no problem at all.
