Default 98 Cobra aftermarket performance brakes

Is it me or is it difficult to find aftermarket vendors who make a performance brake kit for the 98 Cobra. Seems like everyone makes stuff for the GT or standard models, but as soon as you enter Cobra, there's not much out there. I like wilwoods superlite 6 for the fronts, but they don't seem to offer anything for the rears. I would like to go with one brand for both front and rear. Anyone know of a good company that makes performance brake upgrade kits for front and rear on a 98 Cobra?

No problem finding things for the fronts.... I would like a matched set for the rears. Can't find anyone who does both (including calipers).

What are you trying to achieve? Any upgrade kit that fits on a GT will fit on the Cobra. They probably don't list it because it's common knowledge.
Your calipers on your car are great a nice upgrade for you would be good rotors and brake pads.
If you do upgrade everything shot me a PM when you get them off I'm in the market for Cobra brakes.

About to drop about 30K on mods for the 98, yeah I know... crazy! Replacing just about everything except the body and interior. LOL! So, I'mlooking to stop a LOT of horse power very quickly. The place doing the work found a Baer System that will work for my car. I believe there are some differences with the way the emergency brake works between the GT and the Cobra (that and also the offset). For whatever reason, the only upgrades are for GTs. Guess the standard calipers on the Cobra are sufficient for most... I just feel like it's better safe than sorry. I'll have quite a few parts if you're interested in anything that's compatible for ya.

Brembo makes a 4 piston front kit, and BAER has a 6 piston front kit. For the rear, it all depends on if you want to have a parking brake or not...
