My hoses look nothing like my factory hoses, and yes, the caliper mounts came with the caliper. You can get the whole kit with hoses with your choice of OEM, drilled and slotted, or slotted for 4XX.00 on www.speedconcepts.net thats where I got mine

The reason I want to get just the brackets is because I can get the calipers for 70 dollars a set working at o'reillys...I can get rotors for another 70...hoses for around 30, and a good set of pads for 35. That is 205 and I just need to get the brackets....seems like a deal to me.

Personally, deals and brakes shouldn't go in the same sentence. At least spend some pennies on a good set of rotors and pads. The ones that come out of these, kragen, napas, and autozones seem to be total crap.

I had a set of pads tear through a set of kragen rotors in less than one year.

The brakes would be wagners or brembos, both of which use the same steel and are far surperior to the set of bear rotors that I have on it now. The pads would either be wagner edge's or ebc green stuff....trust me I am not going to go putting crap parts on my car with the idea of improving it's performance, in this case how it stops.

I just bought the kit from American Muscle for the front. I didn't want to have to go searching for parts. Last week, I changed a stock bracket on the back. Autozone carried it. I asked them if the carried Cobra brake parts. They said yes but it would take a day to get them in.
