ok FINE! I'm buying the Bullitt kit. *sigh* I'm convinced! I just hope the OEM rotors it comes with aren't *****. Also, should I buy stainless steal lines? Or just use the lines the kit comes with.

If you buy the kit from this company, www.performancepartsinc.com you can get the bullitt brake kit and swap the stock lines for stainless for a small price increase, just deal with the company and make them an offer.

I am planning a brake upgrade soon, I want to do 13" up front but I also want powerslots and hawk pads all around and there is no kit for that. Buying everyhting separately is more expensive.

Yeah I just bought the kit from buyfordparts or something. $425 shipped. Now I have to find stainless lines that will fit these brakes...

I read because we have ceramic pads that the drilled and slotted rotors cause unnecessary wear on the ceramic pads which is bad. Also, I read that they are bad for the stability of the rotor. Hmmm...sometimes price != better stuff. ;-)

I look at it like this: I'm not running my stang on tracks.

I'm doing the Cobra fronts also to my GT. My questions is about the brake lines, do I need to get Cobra lines, I checked the part #s and it appears the GT and Cobra share the same lines. Or do I just need a new banjo bolt and washer.

Yes, you need new brake lines AND banjo bolts.

Just cobra lines are fine. You will find people recommending stainless steel lines for better lines.

you can't re-use your stock gt lines from what i've been told. I asked around and everyone said NO. also you need to find out what year the calipers are because the 96-98/9 used smaller piston calipers then the newer cobras. Thats why i went with the bullits cause i knew they have the larger pistons. If you don't like the bullits the 03 cobra (red) are guaranteed to be better also. there are links to companies that offer these products in thid thread

I don't understand?? If the above SS brake line works on bothe the GT and Cobra why doesn't my stock GT line? And, if I'm reading it correctly the FordMuscle writeup says it isn't necessary.

I can't answer that, but my guess is that the SS lines can adapt to both, but the rubber lines cannot. What is this fordmuscle article you speak of? Take a peek at this one: http://www.stangsuspension.com/store/fordbrakearticle.asp

IIRC the 99+ lines are the same as the cobra ones, but the pre 99 have a different thread than the 99+ and cobra.

So you can reuse on a 99 or newer and not on a 94-98.

I could be wrong though
