Where do I buy them at? I went to all the stores and they keep giving me GT brake pads. I am under the impression the Cobra rear brake pads are skinner than the GT brake pads. THe GT ones are to thick and will not fit over my rotor.

Talking 94-03 Cobras here. Is it a dealer item?

Cobra pads are just GT pads shaved down an 1/8"

You can either shave the pads yourself or go to Ford and buy Cobra pads (or Hawk or any aftermarket performance pad maker)

It makes me wonder how Cobra/Mach1/Bullitt guys do brakes in the rear with all the parts stores handing out GT pads which are too thick to fit over the rotor without shaving down.
