I dont know exactly what a banjo bolt is...I know I need new rotors...what else do I need to upgrade my front brakes to these cobra calipers? I have new lines installed already ..di I need new ones?

banjo bolts have a hole in them to allow brake fluid into the caliper. I believe those calipers need the coarse thread banjo bolts

I may be wrong though

Here is the best deals I have seen on front brake upgrades...

The only downside is that they dont come with pads. Personally, I would want to choose my pads.

Great post. I was about to ask you guys where I could find a good deal on cobra brakes and you posted this.. The ones I checked out (black ones) said "comes with brake pads" in bolded letters..

Mine came with pads as well, even though it wasn't stated in the ad. Would be nice to know exactly what kind of pads they are however. The lines for the GT and Cobra/Mach1/Bullit are pretty much identical in shape and all, just the banjo bolts are different.
