Does anybody know what modifications you have to do to the GT calipers to get them to fit on cobra brackets? I know it can be done from what I've heard, but I'm curious what it is,...

you need new axle brackets ($150) and new rotors.

I realize that. I bought a kit from Ford Motorsport. It does not contain calipers. I'm sure I read you can use your GT calipers with some minor mods. Anybody know?

You just gotta grind the U-bracket on the caliper slightly wider to accomodate the thicker Cobra rotor. Not a big deal to do
