Or buy a 98 Cobra wheel for a spare. They clear the 00R front brakes. The 00R Brembos should have been stock on GTs, mustang brakes are completely inadequate for a "performance" car.
I got the Bullitt/Mach 1 kit for only $350 (came with rotors, pads, SS lines, and the calipers). It was a great upgrade over stock, although it's probably mostly due to the fact that I replaced the stock rubber lines with SS lines and the fact that the '98's came with single piston calipers from the factory. The new brakes look f'n sweet too. Looks alone are almost enough to justify the $350 price tag... doesn't sound like you can get that kind of a deal anymore though. I don't think I would have done the brake upgrade if it would have been more than $500. I probably would have tried to find salvage 2 piston 99-04 GT calipers, along with new rotors and pads. Oh and $1500 is a good deal for the Cobra R kit, but it's still a lot of money to spend especially if you never plan on road racing your car.
If you cannot get the Mach 1/Bullitt kit for less than $600, I'd suggest buying braided SS brake lines, new pads, and new rotors. Your car will feel like a completely different machine and I think you'd be very satisfied with the performance.
Here's a couple pics of the Mach 1/Bullitt kit.
Wow that does look really good. Fills up the center of the rim nicely. Although i can't find the Mach 1/Bullitt brake kits anywhere. Guess they might be discontinued. Have to keep searching.
