I have an offer to trade my stock Cobra brakes and my set of stock Cobra wheels for the Brembo brake kit. Straight up trade... is it a good deal?

The Brembo's have about 12,000 mi on them. My current brakes are feeling kinda soft right now. Please let me know. Thanks

oh, yeah... I'm getting 17x10.5 wheels in the rear, will I have any clearence issues with the Brembo's?

Which Brembo kit is it?

I would be rather suspicous as to why someone would trade their Brembos for cobra brakes.

4-piston aluminum calipers, high performance brake pads, cadmium-plated 13" vented discs

The guy's trying to sell his Cobra, so he's parting out the mods and getting it back to stock as much as possible. That's why he wants my brakes and wheels.

Its about the same... you can get a set of '03 Cobra wheels for about $600-900ish, WITH rubber, but used. Cobra brakes ('99-up with 2piston calipers anyway) run for $399 (new)

The brembo kit runs for $1095 if plain rotors and $1195 if drilled or slotted.

As for the rears, no issue since the 4-piston kit only comes for the fronts not rears. You need at least 17x9 for the front (check brembo's site for a template or PM/email me).
Hope that helps.

Thanks Gagan, I think I'm going to go for it. Mainly because I can't seem to sell my stock rims (I already have the Chrome Cobra's just trying to get rid of the stock ones).

Thanks again!
