Default Cobra Brake Conversion Question

So i bought the kit to install the Cobra brakes on my 66. The cross drilled rotors i found on summit for a sweet price of $150 delivered. The rotors seem to be the most expensive. I have found them new( genuine cobras, powder coated red) for $329

However, autozone has there replacement in stock for $140 for the pair.

My question is, should i save the $ and go to AZ for them, or poney up for the genuine ford Part.

If you get an OEM style replacement rotor make sure is not a cheapo one. I would look at Orielly for Wagner. They have them for 75 each. Its a better produce and has a lifetime warranty. What year Cobra brakes?

94-04 I bought a kit which allows them to bolt directly to the 65-66 stock spindles.

I should have bought the kit rather than trying to piece it together. it is a nice kit too. i think it is the way to go.

I found the ford racing set of 4 calipers for $569 which is a great price. Sice i am converting over to the 8.8" rear end i may go that route. I just wish i had more cash.

I'd buy the Autozone calipers and buy the high temp ceramic paint and paint them red.
