Does anyone make a QUALITY crossdrilled GT rear rotor?? ALSO: GT to Cobra rear brake

[Mustang5L5]

This is going on my '88 5.0.

For the front I have CObra brakes and will be using the Baer eradispeed 1-peice crossdrilled rotors.

Out back i have SN95 GT brakes. I'm trying to find a quality crossdrilled rotor that will match the front in terms of looks. Can't seem to find anyone that makes one short of an ebay "cheapo" rotor.

I'm also debating upgrading my GT rear brakes to Cobra spec. I don't need the extra braking power but i'm trying to fill the empty gap in the wheels (will be black bullitts) with a larger rotor.

Short of buying the $190 FMS CObra conversion kit, what would I need to upgrade my GT brakes to CObra brakes? I understand i will need new rotors (i would get the baers to match the front) new pads and the axle mounting bracket. Are the anti-moan brackets the same?? WHat about the caliper bracket? I understand i'd need to grind the slot a little bit to accomodate the wider Cobra rotor

Another option is the Baer 13" Rear disk setup, which would take care of my bling bling aspect of things. Unsure if it's a quality brake though and have heard problems about the brakes clicking and the e-brake not working right with these.

PS. I know cross-drilled rotors are for looks only, but that's exactly what i'm going for here. It's just a street car

If your going with the Eradispeeds up front, you should get the 13" kit they have for the back. There bigger than the Cobra rears and don't require you to pull the axle to install them (like the Cobras do), they come with a bracket that relocates the GT caliper.

I am considering it, but have heard of guys having problems with clicking noises and their e-brake not working well with the 13" rear setup.

A friend of mine has them and recommends them to everyone.

My e-brake does not hold with the rear Baers (12") on an 02

Do you need a 17" spare tire to clear the 13" brake kit or will the stock GT 16" spare work fine??

Are they the eradispeeds? My friend has the 13" 2 piece ones and says there great. Who needs a parking brake anyway? lol

Yes you need a 17 Cobra spare to clear the calipers, the stock spare is only 15".

SHows you how often i use my spare tire.

Unless i can find a CObra Spare for under $150 i think i'll just stick with the GT setup.

I bought a Cobra spare(17x4) from a salvage yard.(new $175)
My Baers are 1 pc. They do stop / look great. If I had a crystal ball and knew that the e-brake would not hold I think I would have gone for the factory Cobra brakes or some other drilled/slotted rears.
