Went to install them not to hard actaully but for the rears, you have to replace the caliper hold down bracket which mean id have to pull the axles out which sucks. being i just did my gears and all and put new fluid in and now i gotta drain it all out But i guess thats how it goes so. Gonna have to do it. Ill take pics when i get it all done. There going to look sweet though. the Red calipers (bullit) matches the car perfect

Don't know about the Cobra rears, but do know that the Baer rears don't need the axle pulled, and can't remember any reason why the bracket removal would require the axles to be pulled anyways....

If you have Ford Cobra/Mach/Bullit rear brakes, then you have to pull axles to get the stock caliper bracket off. It is too short for the taller rotor.
