I use my vehicle for pursuit driving and found that the cross drilled and slotted rotors with hawk pads gives much better braking than stock brakes and rotors.

^ 99% of the benefit you are experiencing is the pads. In such a case, you'd better upgrade the fluid and SS lines or can end up in SERIOUS trouble in such a situation one day.

+1 on the ss lines. I just have the front lines with auto zone pads and rotors which are getting changed to hawk very soon. Going from rubber to ss just the front stiffened up the pedal a bit but will do even more with rear ss lines. Hawk pads are awesome I used to have them. Tried the autozone and now am gunna switch back in a bit

If your going to buy that 98 Cobra swap the brakes off that onto your car. Don't waist $ on brakes until you figure out what you are doing with that Cobra

Yeah that's exactly what I am going to do if I can get the money to purchase the cobra, It'd be a direct swap right? The rotors and calipers?
