Go to a junk yard and get yourself a set of cobra calipers from 1994 to 1998 cobra.I'd sugest getting new rotors and pads from whoever you like. If you want cobra rears than order the 13 inch fordracng kit from sumit and cobra calipers with the brakets.

the issue with junk yard calipers is they might not be any better than the frozen ones on my car.. i've tried that with other cars in the past and never got a good caliper... and a gt around here is rare let alone a cobra.....

i was going to replace my front and rear, but didn't have the money so i just ordered my rear 300$ after the 93$ core charge after i get the cores back i'll get the fronts lol i hate not having a job

You should just go to an autoparts store and buy the fronts, they arent that expensive if I recall correctly.
