Default Cobra Calipers? WTF.

Ok so I got a set of PBR cobra calipers but they are throwing my mind in circles. I know on my stock GT calipers they have the pins that the outer half slides on, these have no pins except for a small pin with a e clip that holds the top to the mounting bracket. Am I missing something or is this how these work?

Assuming your talking about the fronts the cobra calipers should slide directly onto the GT hardware after you install the cobra rotors.

Yeah, they should fit no problem. I just did the swap this past weekend. They are a bit different in construction, but they bolt right up.

I just did mine and everything was pretty simple.... except for the bleeding of the brakes. I ended up having to take mine to a professional shop to have the brakes bled.

So you used your GT bracket with the cobra caliper? Mine don't look nearly alike.
