Default Piecing Brakes Together

Ok, so I know the subject looks and sounds extremely bad, but I have a dilemma. Since I found out the majority of brakeupgrades will not work with my 18" Bullitt style rims, I am left with buying Cobra/Mach 1 brakes or Baer Track day brakes. Since the Cobra Brakes and Baer brakes are both PBR brakes, I thinkI am going to buy the Cobra Brakes to save a few bucks and use the money towards headers. Here's thedilemma; Therotors that come with the cobra conversion brakes look week (not sexy). I have done my research and have found a way to build my own kit, andI am just wondering if it would work. Let me know what you think!

My Kit
[ul][*]10th anniversary cobracaliper set- $299 from buyfordracing.com Comes with calipers and PBR pads.
[ul][*]What do you think about the red calipers on a black car? or should I go with black calipers? [/ul][*]Stainless Steal teflon brake hoses- $69.99 from american muscle (free shipping)[*]Baer Decela 13" Rotors (see photo) for cobras- $248 from brothers performance(are these the correct rotors I want? [/ul]
Total Kit Price: $616.99
Avg Cobra kit price: $500 - $600 with ugly rotors.

Will this kit work for my gt?

I don't think the brembo's look that bad at all...if you go with the mach 1 kit, it's $350...then paint both calipers red IMO is a great way to go.

Good idea, but i am not fond of the caliper paint. I have seen calipers with that DIY paint on them and they end up looking like S***.

Oh yea, The Brembos have a warning on them to not race or use race brake pads. I would eventually like to do a little AutoXing in the future, and i thought the warning was a little odd.
