Default Rear Caliper Brackets?

Where is a good place to buy rear caliper brackets for cobra calipers? I'm working on a custom project but the axle will be set up with 94-98 axles. I'm getting the calipers from local parts stores (or american muscle) and rotors from brakemotive, but I'm having trouble finding just the brackets and anti groan plates.

I know I can get the ford racing kit, but I already have the rotors but if thats my best option I can keep them for spares, or sell them I guess. And the FR kit comes with the dust shields correct?

Thanks in advance

BTW are the caliper brackets for a GT the same as the Cobra? I know the caliper is different, but I'm not sure about the bracket

Just the bracket and Sliders can be purchased from any parts store. I had to replace my rear brackets last week and I just stopped by my local parts store.

You don't happen to have any part numbers do you? I knew I could get the sliders, but I didn't know about the actual brackets.

But what about the anit groan brackets? Are they really needed? I honestly don't know if I will have enough room to use the groan brackets

+1 just call autzone and tell them what you need, I'm not sure what you are referring to as a groan bracket? Are you talking about the dust shield if so no you don't need it.

The Big thin plate behind everything that is the size of the rotor you won't need. And there is no plate that goes behind the pads. So you won't need anything like those.

Well I have been to autozone and oreillys and I can not find the actual caliper bracket that bolts to the rear axle. I can get the calipers and the sliders, but not the axle bracket.

And I know what the dust shields are, but there are also "anti-groan" brackets that clamp on the axle and bolt to the back side of the caliper. I'm not worried about the dust shields, but if the groan brackets actually serve a purpose I will use them if I have room, but I don't think that I do.
