i am upgrading the rear colipers to the 10th anniv cobra calipers and larger rotors and need to get the rear caliper brackets. while searching for them i cam across this kit.

http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts/part_details.asp?PartKeyField=6355

I already have the rotors and the dust shields are the same, so what are the moan braces and do i need them. ive been searching for a little and someone said that 94-98 rear brakes do not require them.

bottom line, do i need them, and where can i get the rear brackets and moan braces without spending $180 on the kit?

Thanks
Jon

if you have a 94-98 then u don't need them, u already have em. just get the brackets, rotors , calipers and your in business...now the cobra rears and gt rears are the same. the cobra just uses different pads due to the thicker rotors. I figured this out after i ordered the front/rear bullitt kit. so you could save some money and paint the stock.....just thought i'd let you know before you compared them after you took off your stockers and got pi$$ed like i did

too late, already have rear calipers and rotors. so where did you end up getting the "moan braces." i called one of the ford dealers in texas that i work with, and they didn't even know what it was.

thanks for the help

i thought only 94-98 had them on the car already. is it easy enough to look under the car and see them to check?
