great work, i wanted to do this a few years back but i stopped when i saw the price of a kit. I'll do this next time i need brakes.

(I guess i'll have to start abusing my brakes more and stop engine braking)

BTW, anyone know what the stock sizes are in the front and rear in a GT??

Edit: found some info in case someone else was wondering...

||||||||||||GT||||||||||||Cobra
Front|||||||10.8 vented||||13.0 vented
Rear||||||||10.5 solid|||||||11.65 vented

Fronts are like 10.8 and the rear are 10.5 apparently. I dont think the rears are that big, but I could be wrong.

No what i mean is that they used to sell them without color and unbranded like the ones on the mach 1. I know they are all the same but they charge more because they are painted or say cobra on them.

99 GT Vert let's trade!! You can have my fronts and ill take your fronts. Straight up trade

But those numbers about the brakes were almost correct. The rears go from 10.5 to 11.65 (not 11.56)

Close enough though.

And this thread is great to show all the people who didn't know. I've known how to price this all out for like a year. I just can't get myself to throw all the money down right now since i got gears and other stuff instead
