Im currently needing new front brakes so I am thinking about doing the cobra brake upgrade. I found someplace really cheap that has the cobra calipers and rotors only. What else would I need for the install? Would I need new hoses or Banjo bolts? (what exactly is a banjo bolt?)

Thanks Guys!

I got them off ebay. But I only got the rotors and the calipers. So I need to know if my existing brake lines are going to work and what banjo bolts are

to do the upgrade you need the following:

new banjo bolts(they are the bolts that bolt onto the caliper and allow brake fluid to go into it)
calipers + pads
rotors
brake fluid

highly recommended things are:
stainless steel brake lines(they are a MUST)
crossdrilled and slotted rotors(they are not a must, but i find them to be great! no cracking either)

the brakets fit and you won't need em
