my entire brake system on my 99 gt is totally messed up. my stupid friend topped up my brake fluid res with power steering fluid. so needless to say i need to replace some stuff. so i figured no better time and excuse to do some upgrading. what all do i need to put a set of front and rear cobra calipers on my 99 gt? will they bolt up to my stock caliper brackets? and since i am getting new steel braided brake lines do i need to get a specific set of lines?

I upgraded my front brakes withthe firstkit. Since it works with the stock rear GT brakes I didn't bother to upgrade the rear brakes.

Unless your goiing for the look of bigger rotors, whats the point. Just flush your system.

I do have to say, I could tell an immediate difference in both braking power and feel/surefootedness with the cobra brakes. Even light DD stopping just feels more confident and stops quicker.

Cobra upgrade FTW. Its only 400~ or less and its a great upgrade.

I definitely recommend cobra calipers you will need larger rototors along with bracket for the fronts - they stop 10X better than stock. I opted to go with slotted and x-drilled rotors as well for both the front and rear but kept the GT calipers on the rear.

can you buy just the cobra caliper bracket anywhere?

I got my kit from E-bay with was ford factory Cobra calipers (fully load) with factory Cobra pads, along with bracket for $299 but forget thevendor. I just did a search withinE-bay for Cobra calipers. I did not realize they came with pads or bracket as I know the brackets from Ford are $60 a piece but returned them.

when you put powersteernig fluid in ure brake fluid it swells all the rubber seal and lines and eventually destroys them. so i have to replace all rubber brake lines, proportioning valve, abs unit and calipers. basically anything with any sort of rubber seal in it.
