the rear calipers are exactly the same on all mustangs! V6/GT/Cobra.....so if you need a replacement just look at a junkyard for any latemodel mustang. If you want new or were looking for an upgrade try www.buyfordracing.com They have alot of good deals on brakes.

So the cobra rotors will work with gt calipers even though the cobra rotors are larger? Thanks

The Cobra rotors will work with GT calpiers but you will need to use Cobra brake pads (thinner) because the Cobra rotors are thicker...also you will need to get the Cobra caliper mounting bracket to move the caliper out further to work with Cobra larger rotor. You need to take apart the rear and remove the axle to install the rear Cobra caliper mounting bracket...a PITA....If you have a GT adding the Cobra size rear brakes won't help you much since the rear only accounts for @ 20% of the braking. I would just get better pads and new rotors on the rear of a GT...
