Is it true that you have to remove the axles to install the rear bullitt/cobra brake kit? If so, how hard is this to do? BTW, I know installing them on the rear won't really improve braking performance. I would be doing it for aesthetics only to match the front.

It is pretty easy to change the axles. And you get the benefit of checking out your gears for any damage and changing the diff fluid.

will you even feel a difference by changing the rears? I already have the cobra fronts but can't see spending the money on rears being that they only help for about 20 percent of the braking power.

Cobra brakes in the back are the same size rotors as GT's. They are vented, so you will need to run Cobra pads to make up for the difference.

Cobra rear rotors are 12". This is definitely bigger than the GT rear rotors.
