http://www.stangsuspension.com/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idproduct=366
http://www.stangsuspension.com/store/comersus_viewitem.asp?idproduct=920

Would that be all i need? or would i need brackets too? can i buy them separately anywhere?

Also any other info about them. I'm only doing the front right now, mine's a 99 GT. Money is definitely an issue. I'm a student... so funds are quite limited. Thanks guys!

The bare minimum is this.

Since you have a '99, you do not need new brake hoses. The ones you have will work fine.

All you need are the loaded calipers with Banjo Bolts, and a pair of rotors.

You can buy the calipers for about $225 and then just run to Autozone and get two rotors for $60 each or so.

That would allow you to run Cobra brakes the cheapest.

Are you saying all i need to get is calipers and rotors?

Will the Cobra calipers be a direct replacement for my stock GT's? Aren't they mounted further from the center of the wheel?
Thanks for the info so far

Try using the search feature, this gets covered in depth about once a week. You will find lots of info and maybe even some how to's with pics.

Yup direct replacement. The loaded caliper already comes with the brackets you need to mount to the spindle.

It's as easy as unbolt the stock GT caliper, slip off the GT rotor, slide on the Cobra rotor and bolt the Cobra caliper on with the original 2 bolts. Then you hook the brake line up and bleed them and you are good to go.

Then toss your stock calipers and rotors on Ebay and reclaim some of the cost

awesome, thanks a lot!

you need new brakets for the calipures too I belive. the ford racing website. it has the part numbers.

I would upgrade to stainless lines in the front wile you are hassling with it.

You don't need anything other than what you listed on your post.

-Caliper w/ pads
-Rotors
-Don't NEED the ss lines, but I would do it
-Brake fluid

You might wanna invest in a small flare nut wrench set so you don't round of the bleeder screws (if you don't already have them).

No brackets needed. They are part of the caliper.

This simply bolts to the spindle with the original two bolts

Very good. Thanks for your help guys.

I ordered the Cobra calipers and they have a kit with 2 13" rotors + ss lines for like $180, so I got that too. I can't wait. Thanks again!
