I have the 10th anniversary cobra brakes with drilled and slotted rotors and stainless steel lines, and yes I felt a major difference over my stock 10.8' rotors to the massive 13" rotors. the cobra kit is comprable to the Baer kit and about 300 less
hear is a dirty pic

Here is a link to the best price brake upgrade kit that I have found I includes everything you need to do both front and rear brakes. You can also upgrade the rotors to the slotted and drilled if you call and ask them. http://www.stangsuspension.com/store...?idproduct=446

Hey silver, what size rims are thoes, are they 17" or 18" rims?

Dont know much about brakes but I was thinking about doing this if possible. Can you get the cobra 13 inch upgrade for the fronts, then take your stock front brake calipers and discs and put them on the rears. That way you would have larger discs and calipers on the rear without spending any extra cash. Would everything bolt up properly in the rear?

there is no way the fronts would work on the rear
I got my kit from speedconcepts.net but I had a lot of trouble getting them and after filing a complaint with my bank I finally got them 4 months later. they are factory painted red and my wheels are 17" stock bullitts

No you will not be able to move your front calipers/rotors to the rear, they are different. Also your front calipers do not have the ability to set the parking brake. If you look at the kit in the link that I provided it is a great deal!! Everything you need to upgrade front and rear for a little more than $800 shipped!!

Well I am guessing about the size of the rear rotors but I believe that they are 9". Soneone correct me if I am wrong.
