Default Cobra R brake kit

Does anyone have any experience with the Cobra R Brembo 4 piston brake upgrade? Getting ready to order this and just wanted to hear if anyone like/disliked them. Thanks.

4 pistons are very nice. My friend has a Volvo S60R all 4 wheels have 4 piston brembos INSANE Stopping power. You will love them.

I have the brembo cobra r kit on my cobra. it stops on a dime. but make sure you dont skimp on brake fluid. Are you using this for the track or for the street. cuz if your using it for the street the stock cobra brakes will work just fine.

I have cobra brakes on mine and they work out very nicely. What kind of wheels do you have? You can't use that kit on every kind of wheel, make sure that it has enough clearance before buying.

Yes, and depending on the kit, not all 17" work.

I have the Saleen rims, so I think they should clear the calipers?
