I don't beleive they make the rear lines anymore. Something about them leaking.

But yes, GT/Cobra/V6 rear brake hoses should all be the same since they are technically the same caliper. I doubt the 1" the caliper shifts warrants a new line design

What about non ABS and ABS systems? Mine does not have ABS...are they all pretty much the same lines?

Yeah ABS or non-ABS would all use the same caliper soft lines basically for that year

The Cobra rear calipers are the same as the GT. The bracket is the only difference to hold the bigger rotor. If there is any way to find just the bracket you can save money.

buy just the bracket from any ford dealer.

they do cost around $200 for just those brackets thats why i'm selling my cobra rear brakes. not worth the money IMO

The kit is $175 and comes with everything. Just grind the slot in the caliper slightly wider and you are good to go. Easy and cheap.

I did it to my Fox and love it.
