Is this for the rotors, calipers, and spindles? I guess it wouldn't be too bad if the rotors and calipers have a good amount of life left in them. It cant hurt to make an offer also.

150 tops... you can score sll the parts of a 99+ v6 for that at a jy and they are better than the 94-98 cobra parts.

I'd take a 13" brake setup over a 10.9" brake setup anyday. Larger calipers can only do so much. When i upgraded my '03 GT's front brakes to Cobra specs...the difference was huge

I highly doubt it.


I have the 40mm versions of my car. If anything it would come down to brake pedal feel depending on which MC you run.
