Default 04 cobra caliper vs 04 gt caliper

what is the difference between the two actual calipers? if i just want to run the 13" cobra rotors, could i use the cobra caliper mounts and gt calipers?

the GT is a single piston caliper and the cobra is duel. In regards to mounts, i'm not sure.

My 2003 GT's stock front brakes are dual piston calipers.

If you do fabricate up a bracket or something crazy like that for the GT calipers, don't expect to have better stopping power with the use of the larger rotors..

If nobody has done this before or if you can't seem to find it, there must be a damn good reason...

Just buy a whole 13" front brake setup... It wont cause you any headaches...
