I have a question. I'm converting to Cobra brakes in the front of my GT. All I have are the calipers, brackets, and the bolts that go into the back of teh calipers. What else will I need? Not counting fluids/pads.

Rotors and make sure you have the Cobra banjo bolts.

You might need different wheels, ones that will provide clearance for the larger brakes. Take some measurements. The Cobra rotors are 13", I believe. Don't forget to account for the caliper.

I think you also need need new hoses because the GT hoses have a different fitting to the caliper than the Cobra calipers use. I am fairly sure about this, but definitely not 100% sure ... so make sure.

You can get all those individual parts from speedconcepts.net for fairly cheap.

You'll need copper crush washers to go along with your banjo bolts and new hoses.
