what'd it cost and did you do it yourself?

i got RAPED when I had my brakes done last month...

bought autozones best pads...had the rotors replaced with the middle set of rotors at the local brake shop and had them do the labor...

lets say I could have bought a nice cobra upgrade kit *or whatever the good one is* for what I spent..

Altogether for the front and rear cobra spec braking system it costed me $371 with new pads all around

2 bullitt calipers from BFR - $209
2 freshly turned 13" rotors used for maybe 8000 miles - $62
The whole used rear brake setup off a Mach -$75
New pads for rear - about $25

Yes I did the fronts myself, but not the rear.. Took me 1 hour to do the whole thing with bleeding the brakes in my driveway

I hope you didn't get too raped on your price lol.. What did you pay?

I can get the rotors from my work, and the calipers and pads and brackets from BFR......where do I get the brake lines though? I maybe could get those from work too, I just wanna make sure they will work for converting the GT to Bullitt brakes

any advice?

http://shop.advanceautoparts.com/web...S_716097465___

Will those work? I work at advance and can get those at a discount if they would work If i changed over to bullitt brakes
