Got some Buillitt calipers and have a couple questions so I get the right parts...

1. I need stainless steel lines from a Cobra or GT (I'm almost sure it's Cobra).

2. Do I need those Cobra large thread banjo bolts to mount the caliper, or does it bolt up to the GT bolts from the old caliper?

3. Cobra or GT brake pads?

Thanks...yes, I'm still alive.

Common guys, help your MIA moderator out.

I read a few articles on the net, and some say that the cobra caliper needs the larger bolt, and the Bullitt doesn't, yet to the best of my knowledge, the Bullitt caliper is the same as the Cobra aside from the color and the Horse casting on the front.

Anyone?

The Bullitt caliper is a repainted Cobra part. Cobra pads, bolts, lines, etc.

Is the Mach I braking system also the same?

99+ Mach 1, Cobra and Bullitt brakes are all the same. Just different colors.

The 94-98 Cobra calipers are slightly different, the pistons are smaller 38mm pistons and the thread sizes for the bleeder valves are different (in case you want speed bleeders). The 99+ caliper has 40mm pistons.

You will need Cobra pads, CObra 13" rotors and a Cobra banjo bolt and new crush washers.

The stock brake lines from a 99+ GT will work with Cobra calipers, but if you are upgrading to SS lines just specify Cobra.

Just go Cobra everything and you'll be fine
