buying cobra brakes for GT
 

so i found someone selling cobra brakes at a good price and my question is are they a direct bolt on to my 2004 gt or do i need a mounting bracket. they come with the calipers, 13in rotors and the brake lines. will they clear my 17 FR500 rims?

i believe they are direct bolt on's. and yes your 17's should clear it. not all wheels are the same with dimension but i have not heard of anyone hitting the calipers with their 17's as of yet.

17s are the smallest rims u can use with those brakes....u will be fine....

if u have the entire front caliper, that will directly bolt on, u will need to change out the frnt brake line too.....the back is a diff story you will need, caliper mounting brackets, moan braces, dust shields, dust shield Bolts

do you just want them for looks (since your wheels are so open)? I know its a little off your topic but I was just curious why you were buying them (considering your current power level).

Well if he can get them at a good price why not grab them while you can? I mean come on upgrading the brakes is good thing right?

^^^I agree^^^

im buying them because my brakes now are squeaking and suck real bad(as we all know gt brakes arent the best) so i was going to have to change out the rotors and pads and for a few more bucks why not go with the cobra brakes.

and i asked about the clearance because i remember seeing somewhere that some bigger brakes wouldn't clear FR500 rims, not sure which ones but i think they were something like wilwood or brembo. and yes these brakes are coming with the brake lines that it needs. just wasn't sure if i needed a front bracket to mount them.

gotcha, sounds like a good idea then. They will look pretty sick with those wheels. Good luck.
