No offense, but Steeda is way overpriced. $460.00 (according to their website) when you can get the same thing for less than $400.00 elsewhere.

Shop around and you can do much better with price.

The Cobra brakes will fit behind those 96-98 stock split-spokes. I know because those are the rims I have with front Cobra brakes. BTW, I also bought a Cobra spare since the GT spare won't fit the front and I know I won't feel like switching around wheels if I ever get a flat.

The steeda kit has power slotted rotors, the other kits just have plain rotors...something to think about also...

If the above deals were steals then my deal was an all-out robbery. For $329 including shipping I got 2-13" Brembo rotors, 2 Mach 1 calipers AND stainless steel lines. Bought it on ebay and the kit arrived yesterday and looks killer. Note that the ONLY difference between the Cobra, Bullitt and Mach 1 calipers is the color and emblems. Other than that its the exact same thing. Here's the link:

That is the place, but for some reason their price on the website shows $399.00, however in my recent issues of muscle mustang magazine they advertise them for $359.00, so call them up at 734-459-0130 and see whats up. I may be doing this kit soon.
