It would be the same as doing it with Cobra or Bullitt calipers. Just need the bracket and 13in rotors.

appearently my edit did not take and my full post was left behind. so, i know that it would be the same but are the mach 1 calipers aluminum like the cobra calipers in the FRPP kits? those who have used mach 1 calipers can chime in please. oh and if there are pics, even better. thanks.

identical to the cobra/bullitts except for the cast-in emblems. only ones that are mechanically different are 03/04 cobra (bigger pistons), but all are direct replacement for each other.

The 03/04 cobra calipers are the same as the 03/04 mach. All 99-04 cobra, bullitt or Mach 1 calipers use the same larger 40.5mm pistons. The 94-98 cobra and 93 cobra r calipers are 38mm pistons. Visually there are slight exterior differences and paint colors


Anyway, Mach 1 calipers bolt on just like the cobra stuff. Here are mine. Painted them red....but now wish i didn't. I have the Mach rear brakes too

There are. The other three are the stock fox open style lugs. You just can't see them


I have matching lugs now
