i drove a cobra and its brakes felt alot better than my stock GT brakes... but im not sure if its worth it....

I had them installed. I bought them used ($300 installed) off an 04 Cobra that was upgraded to Brembo. With the build I am doing, I am going to upgrade to Brembo as well.

I personally wouldn't waste my money on brakes. not something I would be interested in. do your brakes currently stop the car? to me, if they do, they are world class.

Have you given Mach1 brakes any thought?

Pretty much the same but the calipers will look like the GT's only bigger.

As for stopping power the Bullitt/Mach1/Cobra have more braking power but the feel of the hydra boost system makes them feel the same.

haha lol.. then i guess i have world class brakes, im thinking it would be better to just go eibach pro kit or something, probably could get it done for about the same price

You've prob never driven a car with good brakes then Redass, once you drive a car with great brakes and go back to a car with just enough brake to stop it....you'll understand.

How much is the kit?

Kit is $400 off of mustang tuning. Upgrades it to 13 inch rotors. I'm considering them i think its pretty good price. $400 bucks for calipers, rotors, pads, ss brake lines, mounting hardware

I love my mach1 brakes, feels like my bro's cobra, and the GT feels weak! I'd say why not, go ahead :-p And if you don't upgrade you're brakes, and decide to upgrade you're car, you're asking to get hurt, unless you live in the country with all straight roads and no traffic.... I'd say up you're brakes, you'll definately know it :-p

The faster you go, the better your brakes should be.

There are no exceptions. Honestly, if I see someone who puts thousands into their vehicle and does every mod imagineable but brakes...I don't think they have a clue what they're doing.
