Have you guys checked the prices on the 13" front brake kits lately??? They used to be around $400....maybe less. Now they have shot up to over $600, even on americanmuscle.com. What the hell happened?

A vendor on modularfords.com had a limited number for sale for $500 about a month ago. People went nuts over it.

Buyfordracing was @ $329 last year for the standard black cobra kit....

That sucks! I'm glad I got in "early" then... But this is all the more reason to swap to Cobra-R brake setup for you n00bs with lil brakes
