Ok well just to be sure before I install my new cobra front and rear brakes. For the rear I ordered the kit that came with everything but the calipers seeing that as far as i know the cobra rear calipers where the same as ours correct? It was this one from BuyFordRacing.com

Sounds about right... the GT caliper bolts onto the cobra backing plate and uses the larger rotor...

they are the same but they use different (thinner) pads to account for the thicker cobra vented rotor

You need to buy Cobra-specific pads, which are thinner, and you'll have to do some minor grinding on the caliper so it'll clear the larger rotor and notl rub.
