I have front 13" cobras and was going to get the rear cobra rotors and calipers but see on ebay for a couple hundred a bracket that relocates the factory rear caliper and allows 13" rotor to be used on the rear. Would the only advantage of this upgrade be cosmetic, in that both front and rear rotors would match?lol. Car already stops pretty decent with drilled/slotted brembo's all the way around and cobra calipers up front. Thanks guys!

The braking might be a bit better, but the Cobra rotors fill up the space behind the wheel nicely. Oh, and you don't need the cobra calipers - they're the EXACT same ones as the GT. You just need the M-2300-M kit and your existing calipers, and you'll have Cobra brakes. You may need to grind the caliper braket a bit to clear the rotor, but that's all.

The 13" kit is mostly for show. The M2300M kit requires you to pull the axels. True the calipers are the same, but the Cobra caliper brackets are a bit taller. You need to clearance the inside tops of the brackets to fit the 11.65 rotors. Get the kit for $154 at http://www.johnbleakleyford.com/partssearch.asp?search=BRAKE
