What do I need to go to rear Cobra brakes on my 94? As much as I hate to do it this way, I might have to upgrade my rear brakes first so will that be a problem to run stock GT brakes up front and Cobra rears? Will the GT MC work ok with the oddball setup seeing as its still the same calipers on there?

I read a bit on here, It seems they still use the GT calipers so what else do I need? Just the Cobra caliper brackets and rotors? Will they fit in the stock 16 inch wheels? I will be going to 17s soon, but I need to buy tires first. That's mainly why I don't have the cash to do the fronts and rears all at the same time but my GT rears are pretty worn out now, so why not?

The caliper brackets themselves are the same, but the mounting brackets (the plate that the bracket mounts to) is different. You have to remove the axles to remove the places. You can also get a kit that adds the required distance without adding a new mounting bracket, but the site I found it on doesn't carry it anymore. Baer has a kit, but you have to buy their rotors too. I do not know of the rears will fit with a 16" wheel.

Here's a website detailing the upgrade:
