Question Upgrading brakes on my '03 GT

I'm looking to upgrade my brakes (rotors & pads) on my '03 Mustang GT. They're currently stock. Can this be done w/o changing the calipers? I plan on ordering the parts online and instaling them myself. Does anyone know any reliable websites?Opinions, suggestions???

Thanks...

thats the best you will get with out upgrading to a cobra setup which isnt that expencive(about 500.00 for the complete front setup) or going with something even better but then you get into some real cash!!!

That's the website I initially looked at. Will I need to upgrade the calipers too, or can I use the stock?

you can get the Mach 1 front brake kit for $359 at buyfordracing.com if you want to get bigger brakes.

What ever you do, do not forget to change your brake fluid to new. Only costs $40 at a brake place. The fluid does not last forever.
