Cobra Front Brake Kit Question

iStang said:

Is it safe to switch the stock front brakes to the Cobra front brake kit without changing the rear brakes on a ’03 GT ? Are there also kits available for front and rear or do I have to buy the rear separately ( http://www.buyfordracing.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=477 ).

I understand that the main break force applies to the front, but the rear braking ads also stability to the car.

Thanks for your advise.

the rear cobra brakes are just a larger rotor(11.65) and the same calipers...not worth the swap....if bigger is what your after, steeda has a 13 rear conversion that uses the 13" rear rotor with a bigger caliper mounting bracket and retains your stock caliper/pads...as opposed to the cobra rear that requires the removal of your rear axles to install the mounting brackets..

and the cobra fronts are a nice upgrade, you can get them also at steeda.

Keep in mind that your mini spare will not fit on Cobra brakes. I bought a Cobra spare to fit on my 13" fronts.
