Well, I like the brembo Cobra R kit, and since its the same that saleen uses with their own name. Two question before I upgrade. What does saleen use for rear brakes? Is it just stock GT brakes with the small discs? and If I upgrade the fronts with that saleen/Cobra R brembo kit, do I need a new master cylinder? Does saleen upgrade the master cylinders with their kit?

Saleen does not change the rear brakes...only the front.
The 13" and 14" upgrade kit
include brembo 4piston calipers, brembo slotted rotors, pads and stainless steel brake lines. They do not change the master.

I'm still at a toss up between getting the Full cobra brake kit for $800 or just the Cobra R brembo kit for the fronts for $900. Any suggestions to which i should go with. Will I notice a huge diff with one over the other kit? thanks.

If you upgrade the rear brakes as well as the front can you still utilize the Master Cylinder?

I would pay the extra $100 and get the Cobra R Brembo!
