Default RE: rear brake pads

You rarely use your back brakes to stop, they are mostly for when you pull the E-brake. Front brakes stop you, like more than 80% of the force is on the front brakes. You could leave the rear brakes alone if you wanted to. If not, just throw some good pads on there and you'll be good for many miles.

If you have stock size rear GT rotors and want some great pads, I have a set of Akebono Ultra ceramics in the parts for sale section, good luck.

Just FYI the cobra conversion kit requires you to pull the axles out of the rear end housing.

I went with the bullitt/cobra upgrade on the front and am gonna use the stock pads till they wear out. They are already PBR pads and calipers.

I ended up going with the Cobra rear kit when I did my Cobra brakes. It didn't come with the calipers, since the Cobra ones aren't any better. I went with Hawk HPS pads, they seemed fantastic but created more dust than normal. This is to be expected with higher performance pads.
