That all clears it up...It looks like the Cobra calipers are smaller than the PBR's, but that's probably because the rotor is smaller on the PBR's. Has anyone switched from a PBR to a Cobra/Bullitt, and if so was there a noticeable difference?

Thanks
RC

you will need to grind little off the edges to fit perfect for the GT PBR brakes. The 94-04 cobras are straight bolt on. 94-early 03 uses fine thread banjo bolts and later cobras uses coarse thread on the brake lines. just be careful not to mix it up between the two.

To make it simple Go buyfordracing.com and pick up the whole package.

If you are trying to save some money by getting all the brake parts piece by piece it ends up costing the same in the end.

Good luck

I have PBR's now...Im getting a used set of Cobras from a friend, including a set of Brembo rear rotors....Just wanted to know if it was worth it to change from PBR's to Cobras, and apparently it IS worth it.

Thanks
RC

Here is the kit I just got and installed. $349 for the kit, and now I have some serious braking power.

This is what I put on mine except I went with the drilled version. I don't know what your budget is but talk about a world of difference!!!!! These run a little over a thousand, not the $2-3K like some of the big brake kits

They come in a flat gray, so I picked up some Duplicolor Caliper Spray Paint (Gloss Black) They look hot!!!! Two cans allowed me to do 4 coats on the front, and two coats on the rear.
