Hey guys. I'm finally getting the parts and gumption together to swap to the Cobras on the front. I was wondering...can I re-use the bolts that retain the GT bracket to the spindle? Or do I need to use a different length? If they are the same, I'll just reuse them. Otherwise, I'll pick new ones up when I go to NAPA to get the slider pins and E clips, later today. (I looked for over an hour yesterday, to find out that a slider pin is required in each caliper/bracket. Grrrr.)

You can reuse the same ones. The Cobra front brakes I ordered didn't even come with new bolts to use.

+1, I just put my new mach 1 front brakes on a couple weeks (same as cobra), and I reused the bolts.

With the 13 inch rotors up front there is a big difference. The pedal is stiff with the regular GT mc, but you get used to it. Its not too stiff, just very touchy at first! Should have done it a long time ago.

Night and day difference. I have absolutely no doubt that the car will stop when I need it to now.

That was the easiest swap I have EVER done on my car! Damn! Prolly an hour (maybe 1.5) start to finish!

The pads need bedded-in yet, but the car stops pretty good. (I won't "jam" the brakes for about 500 miles.)

I think I may want a Cobra MC.
